I talked with Stefan Daniels at Photokina about the M8 lens bar codes.

He told me
1) lens bar coding is patent applied for (so don't expect commercial 3rd 
party coding)
2) lens coding benefits vignetting on wide angles
3) lens coding makes for more accurate TTL flash exposures

of the course the question is how big are the benefits
time will tell
