Hi Flexers, Although it is slightly off topic, at David's suggestion, I am posting this to the Leicareflex list as I have done to the LUG. To cement my reputation as a gear head I have been experimenting with getting the M8 to read codes on non Leica lenses. Here is a picture of the coding on a Leica 35 Lux asph (on the left) and next to it is a CV Nokton 40 f1.4SC. You can vaguely see on the CV lens barrel where I have marked off where the code dots should be, including one over the screw head. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/UV+IR+Code+Pix/ _1000064.JPG.html http://tinyurl.com/2rsmtw Here is the CV 40 now coded with matt black water soluble model paint - including a splash over the screw head which is in the way. The M8 manages to read the code as 35mm!! http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/UV+IR+Code+Pix/ _1000072.JPG.html http://tinyurl.com/32t4x6 Here is a picture off our balcony with lens code on, IR filter off and no filter on the camera: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/UV+IR+Code+Pix/ L9991044.JPG.html http://tinyurl.com/25l4gs And finally, here is a picture of the same scene with lens code on, IR filter recognition on and the filter (a 43mm heliopan 8025) on: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/UV+IR+Code+Pix/ L9991045.JPG.html http://tinyurl.com/yqc9za The posted pictures are from the basic Jpegs - I haven't yet fooled around with the RAW files. I will wait for night fall to see what happens under tungsten light but I am pretty pleased with myself, Cheers Howard (in Hong Kong). ------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/lrflex.htm Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/
