Otherwise, the only difference is that without the coding, the camera can not place any info in the EXIF file about the lens being used. All of this is irrelevant if you wish to tell the camera which lens is mounted (manual lens input through the LCD and Menu) .. and then it all works as if the lens were coded.... Look at the back of your lens... if there are 5 or 6 screw heads on the lens flange, it probably can be coded by changing out the flange. ($20 or so from EBay) You may require re-collimation if the lens does not focus correctly... DAG charges about $125 for collimation..... Leica, if you decide to go that route, charges $300 or more to do the entire job,.....

Now, how do non coded lenses behave in such a body ? Will, on the other side, non coded lenses be able to get coded by someone, who does that?
