[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]This week I have to dial in many of my legacy Nikon lenses on my new D700 as they are non CPU lenes. Before I had to enter the speed of the lens and focal length. Now with this newer camera its much easier they get assigned a general number. I think the menu option would keep me happy for awhile on the M9. I'm used to it. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ mark at rabinergroup.com Cars: http://tinyurl.com/2f7ptxb > From: Philip Forrest <photo.forrest at earthlink.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 21:34:42 -0500 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] CODING???? is it really a necessary evil? > > But the M9 needs coding even more than the M8 because the fringy > corners are now visible.
