Leica 40mm F2 Summicron -C Lens Coding Question

[bherman]

I'm looking to pickup a Leica 40mm F2 Summicron - C Lens to be used on both my Leica film body as well as on my M8.2.

Does anybody have one of these that they've bothered to get 6-bit coded? If so, do I just get it coded the same as the 35mm F2 Summicron or is there a different code? I looked at the chart and there was a code for the equivalent 40mm F2 Rokkor counterpart, but there was no mention of the Leica F2 Summicron. I know that it is a similar lens.

Should I bother getting it coded for the M8.2? Also, what M8.2 framelines does it bring up?

Thanks

Brad

You absolutely should get one. Don't bother with coding it though. It is my favorite lens on the M8 and RD1. I never saw any issues. The lens will bring up the 50mm lines. I filed the mount on mine to bring up the 35mm lines. With the M8 it fit quite nicely.
