I just purchased a new CL to use as a back up/extender for my Leica SL lenses, which I'm primarily using on a Lumix S1R.

The CL has firmware vers. 3.1

When I mount the SL 24-90 & SL90-280mm on the CL I get the message in the image below. I've downloaded the firmware for the lenses onto an SD card  & inserted into the CL still no luck.

Is it a case of the SL lenses can only be updated via an SL body?

Any advice will be appreciated. 

Thanks 

Mike

Leica isn't the only manufacturer where this problem has been manifested... I ran into it with some Olympus and Panasonic FourThirds/Micro-FourThirds bodies and lenses as well, once upon a time. It's cumbersome, but as long as you have a good dealer somewhere nearby to work with it works out. Happily, lens firmware updates are only needed once in a great while.
