Don't have any other codable WA's so am looking for suggestions of good candidates. The 50 or faster seem a waste of the certificates as the codeing seems more sensible on the WA's not the 50 or longer, since the only advantage is lens id, but on WA's you do get some imaging help in the edges (Cyan Shift from the filters).
