[Leica] 6 Bit Lens Coding Questions

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

On the M8, except for the most critical use coding lenses 28mm and 
wider is fine, for the M9 you have to code 35mm lenses as well for 
similar results.

Only black is needed. Flat black is best; if the location you dab the 
paint isn't recessed it will wear off after a number of lens changes 
no matter what you use.
