6-bit code of the new Leica Noctilux-M 1:1.2/50 ASPH?

Hi,

I'm in the process of coding my Voigt 50/1.2. I could of course choose the 50/1.4 or 1.0 code but using another 50/1.2 code would give me the EXIF I would like.

I've not been able to find it in the usual databases/web pages nor any picture of the mount of this lens.

Anybody knows it or has access to the lens?

Regards.

Thanks. Looking there was smart indeed.

Not easy to find, when one doesn't have the lens

so it's '001110' , good to know.

Is the mount flange pre-milled for 6 bit coding ? Are any 3rd party lenses ?

thanks

I wouldn't think so. To the best of my knowledge, Leica have a patent on the 6bit lens coding in at least some countries.

On some China made lenses yes (i have a 7artisans 35/2 like that) but on CV lenses no. The current ones have a recessed area for hand coding though.

No, the mount flange is not pre-milled. But as lct said, the recessed area helped.

However, I found replacement flanges for Zeiss ZM lenses and it seems the screw hole positions are compatible with Voigtlander. I'll try that as soon as they arrive from China.

Hi Pascal,

Good to see you posting here again.  I met you with Robert Parker in the Frog & Rosbif some years ago.

Be careful with the flange mounts with drilled pits.  Most that I used were okay but when I swapped my 50/1.0 Noctilux's flange over there were shims underneath and aligning them was very difficult.

Yes, I remember it. It was a nice meal.

If you are in Paris and want to share a drink, let me know. Unfortuntaly, Covid makes going to London quite complicated. Too bad because this is one of my favorites cities.

Thanks for the advice. I'll take it into account.
