rramesh Posted September 17, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 17, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I coded a Voigtlander 15 as WATE by applying paint in the provided groove for the 6 Bit Coding. When mounted on the M10-P, the Lens Detection does not show AUTO, rather indicates 4/16 mm. When I click this, it brings up Manual M with only three options for 16-18-21 f/4.0 ASPH 16mm, 18mm and 21mm. I assume this is normal behavior as the WATE has three selection options. Is this right?

Good To Be Retired Posted September 17, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) You don't specify which 15, but still these threads on coding Voightlanders might be of interest. https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/242718-6-bit-coding-voightlander-15mm-f45-vm-iii/ https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4001057 As well as a number of others if you Google coding voightlander 15 Edited September 17, 2020 by Good To Be Retired 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rramesh Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) The lens is Voigtlander VM 15mm/f4.5 III. It is coded as 010000 (Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21mm f/4 ASPH). On an M-9 when Auto lens detection is selected it shows EXIF as Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21 mm f/4 ASPH. On an M-10 Auto lens detection is disabled and one can only select Manual M, and only Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21 mm f/4 ASPH is visible with a choice of 3 selectable options 16mm, 18mm and 21mm. One needs to select 16mm manually, before taking pictures as otherwise EXIF only brings the last registered manual lens. I suppose this is right as it gives greater granularity for the 3 different Tri-Elmar settings. Has anyone else experienced this?

There are no frame lines for 16/18/21 so it must be chosen the keep the exif correct. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no difference between the lens profiles on the WATE between the focal lengths. The manual setting only changes EXIF. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However AFAICT LR does seem to apply different corrections depending on which focal length is selected. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashGordonPhotography Posted September 21, 2020 Share #7 Posted September 21, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes. This is normal behaviour on the M10R and M10M I have. The lens switches to manual selection and defaults to 16mm. You can then manually select other focal lengths if you wish. I have not tested if there is any new profiles being added. When I put another coded lens on the camera it switches back to auto by itself and the correct lens is shown. So it act like an AUTO mode but with possible manual selection of the appropriate focal length. My MATE is still on holidays in Germany (about 6 months so far) so I can’t test if it has the same behaviour. Gordon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted September 21, 2020 Share #9 Posted September 21, 2020 Yes, because it has a frameline coupling which the WATE has not. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but those are LR profiles based on EXIF, not camera profiles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to know that if now the WATE has 3 lens profiles, one each for 16, 18 and 21mm focal lengths, rather than the 'one-size-fits-all' 16-18-21 on the M9. Unfortunately I don't have a WATE to test. Edited September 22, 2020 by rramesh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
