Rei,

These photos have a wonderful sharp, creamy texture to them if that  
makes sense. I really like them. Nice lens. I'm pretty sure the pre- 
asph 35 lux can't be coded because of the solid mount but you should  
be able to get a series 7 cut filter for it. I'll search for the  
address in Germany that Henning uses. You can correspond by e-mail.  
He says the service is fast and the prices good.

Good luck on the coding. I sent my Tri-Elmar and 50 asph lux to NJ  
which they received June 28th. They were returned coded October 12  
and 15th.  I don't know why it took so long.
