Coding a 35mm Summilux pre-asph

[arnulf]

I just bought a 35mm Summilux pre-asph for my M9. Lovely, lovely lens. Just did some test shots at home and it seems like a lens I'm going to use a lot.

One annoying thing, though. There doesn't seem to be a 6-bit code for this lens. I would like to code it myself so that I can keep the lens detection on auto. I find it a little strange that there is no code for it, since you can manually select the pre-asph in the manual menu.

Does anybody know if there is a code for it? If not, can I just code it as an ASPH, or would that mess something up?

Thanks
Arnulf

no color shift problem, why code?

i had mine milled (6 slots) while it was in for adjustment of the focusing ring, and painted in the ASPH code. no problems noted. it's a great representative of the mandler lens family.

Assuming you have the v4 here is the code. 011000 I have mine hand code with the M-Coder

Just noticed you asked about the Summilux, code above is for the Summicron

Code it as the ASPH- 011101.
that code also works with the VC40 1.4.

Thanks. I did so and it seems to be working fine 🙂
