Some few lenses it does not work on, but otherwise fantastic
Das Tool ist sehr einfach in der Handhabung und es funktioniert sehr gut mit der Codierung.
Simple and easy to use but would suggest better markers and a bigger lens coding repository for many other lenses. I didn’t manage to code my lenses for it to be recognisable and went to get m mount adapters with coding indentation to fit my L 39 and to be able to easily paint the colour codes on.
Having your lenses auto recognized on a Leica camera is a treat and a solution to age old problem. Obvious, but simple solutions to a problem are the best.
Used it for a non-encoded Voigtländer 28mm Ultron 2 lens on my Leica M11 Monochrom. Totally easy to use, and it works. It uses the Leica 28mm Summicron as the equivalent and I see no issues.
