[Leica] 6 Bit Coding on Lenses

[red735i at earthlink.net (Frank Filippone)]

Statements from Leica today......

"Lenses in the current range as well as many earlier models can be 
retrofitted at the cost of the owner to benefit from the image
optimization in the camera."

"Apart from the improvement in image quality, this information is also 
written into the EXIF image file."

There is a more than passing comment that the camera itself does something 
with the coding from the lenses.  Do we have any data
that tells us what?  ( apart from recording it into the EXIF data locations).
