[Leica] Coding of lenses for use on the M8

[john at mcmaster.co.nz (John McMaster)]

I had those on some of my lenses and they worked fine until they went sent 
to Solms for a CLA and 6 bit flange, there are chances that they are not as 
precise a fit but cost much less ;-)

There is no 6 bit flange (or code) for the 35mm Summilux pre-asph, it has a 
different fitting.
