The caveat was that you need to send each coded lens to me for careful examination. Seriously though, it seems very likely though that only a handful of coded designs will initially become reasonably distributed. I'm sure that Brian wouldn't mind a few paras of plain text in the FAQs with lens model details followed by 1100010 or similar. Brian in fact, has shown the first example in the wild with his 2.8 28 Elmarit 100100, I believe. Depending on whether the code is model specific or just focal length generic,the data base might be very simple indeed.

We need to find out more about the lens coding... Which codes for which lenses..... Didn't someone offer to compile this list? Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net My guess is that every lens absorbs some amount of IR, and that the lens coding will tell the firmware how much IR made it through the lens. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
