Advertisement Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Hi lct, Take a look here New Leica Summilux M 35mm FLE II lens coding same as previous version. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

We are simply trying to record a lens model number in image metadata using the current interface. Please re-read my posts above to understand how that would work. It seems that Leica did not foresee or prioritise the need by users to record detailed lens information when designing the 6-bit coding system, nor did they make it particularly easy to manually select the lens type when using uncoded lenses. Also, the manual section explaining lens detection mentions the possibility to do lens corrections as the first item in the usage list, so it may well be that this set the original requirements for coding implementation.

I may be wrong again... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
