bayerische Posted November 5, 2007 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi guys, I'm wondering if my M8 might have a defective Lens code identifier...? It has been working great sofar with self coded lenses, now suddenly it's not working.... So this week I'm borrowing a Dymo machine, and following Manuels Dymo coding principle, I'm going to find out if there is a problem.... But has this happened before? It's been working fine for a month, and suddenly no lens gets identified anymore! IR+ LENS DETECTION is ON. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayerische Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted November 5, 2007 Using an ink pencil. Same pencil as before. I've carefully refilled when worn. Done this maybe 5 times before, always worked. The sensor itself has always been kept clean with a microfibre cloth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Bébèrt Posted November 5, 2007 Share #4 Posted November 5, 2007 don't forget to check your Exif file of your picts. I coded my Ultron 28/1,9 as the Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH with the dymo method. Eureka, I had the 28mm listed in the info window on the LCD screen, and also in Lightroom everything seemed oké. But when I opend the EXIF file, the info mentioned: lens 28mm and max apperture f4, this is to my knowledge the reading of the Tri-Elmar-M 28-35-50mm f/4.

gwelland Posted November 5, 2007 Share #5 Posted November 5, 2007 You might also want to check if the coding sensor cover has got bits of paint/nail polish/sharpie left on it. If it's dirty it'll mis-read the coding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
