[Leica] 6-bit codes

[reid at mejac.palo-alto.ca.us (Brian Reid)]

Gulp. I took two of my three M lenses in to K&S today to be sent off to have 
6-bit codes put in them or on them or whatever. My third (and most 
frequently used) lens is the 50mm collapsible Elmar that oughtn't be used in 
an M8. I wonder whether I'll get my lenses back before or after Leica 
actually delivers M8's to people?

The service desk at K&S told me that Leica isn't planning to start the 6-bit 
coding work until November 1, but that by sending my lenses in a few weeks 
early I'd ensure a place in line. We shall see.
