Going by the G1 service manual (page C-6 and up, in particular C-11), the lens data table can be edited through the internal diagnostics menu. I only own a silver label - can anyone with a green label G1 (and service manual) read out the EEPROM values for Bank 3 (32~4A), Bank 4 (4B~63) and Bank 6 (7D~95)? The latter is the 35mm, one of the former must be the 21mm.
 
Sevo, if you find out how to do this, it would be great if you could put together a step-by-step method for people like me who don't have the service manual.

Thanks,
Dez

Somewhere out there is a written procedure that was used by the people doing the green sticker update.

Maybe. My manual seems to be from silver label times, and the flyer with update notes that came with it is for flashing a file (not supplied) with some probe (which I don't have and can't even identify from the description) attached to a PC. But smaller service centres may have been supplied with instructions for a manual update. If any of you have a service manual, please look whether it contains hex listings of the lens data.
