SL-3 Quirks that drive me crazy

Maybe but it wastes considerable time; in my case I would lose shots. And it is pretty annoying. I have a number of M lenses which I use with each their own adapter like L lenses. I hate fiddling. I only use third party adapters for R lenses like the Fisheye Elmarit

but dont you achieve the same results by manually selecting the lens in the menu? I use the leica adapter with my leica lenses due to the 6 bit coding, and the none leica ones with the novoflex, cause eitherway i still need to select a lens for ibis to work correctly. Thought that by selecting manually the lens it will give you those corrections. 

NOPE

Leica activates this setting if it can verify that it is the actual lens. This is with the R-Rom adapter and the Leica M adapter.

Many lenses don't need it, but some lenses don't have linear corrections.

A non-Leica adapter activates IBIS and adds metadata, but you still need to apply corrections in post.

so if you have a none 6 bit coded leica lens, it wont matter if you select the lens in the menu or not, it wont have any correction applied?

if you do select the closest lens manually it will have corrections [if any] applied

Correct, it will have them in the metadata, and Lightroom will do the correction.

You can make a simple test if you have some lenses that need it.
