I gather that it is required for the best performance of wide lenses such as the 21mm ASPH, 28mm and 35mm Summicrons. What about for longer lenses such as 50mm Summicron and 90mm Elmarit? Last, what about the Noctilux? Which lenses are important to have barcoded? At $175 each, I need to set priorities for which lenses I have coded first and know if it might be a luxury for some others. I see that Tina sometimes uses a 135mm lens on her M8 and no barcoding is available for that lens. My main concern is optical performance not just recording which lens was used for a particular photo. All advice offered will be highly appreciated. Many thanks... Ken Lassiter, Boynton Beach, FL
