[Leica] 6 Bit Coder?

[gregj_lorenzo at hotmail.com (Greg Lorenzo)]

My Pentax 43/1.9 lens is at the top of the list. The Zeiss 25/2.8 lens seems 
to work well using the Leica 24/2.8 Asph setting. I'm taking the Pentax out 
tomorrow and plan to initially try the Leica 35 and 50 Summicron settings 
but in that this lens is sharper then both Summicron's it will be 
interesting to see which, if either, setting works well.

 

My mention of using non-Leica M mount lenses was not that well received in 
Seattle by some.
