LENS CODER KIT WITH M-CODER AND D-CODER NEW!!
FOR M SERIES LENSES!
To identify a lens, the lens sensor reads the lens code – a series of black dots in engraved wells. New lenses are manufactured with these codes, will permanently engrave and encode older lenses without codes – but only for lenses made by themselves.
Leica owners have discovered that it is possible to use a minute amount of black ink to effectively encode an M-type lens. This temporary encoding can be unreliable, and obtaining the correct code difficult – but all this changes using the Coder Kit: the D-Coder gives you the correct code in seconds, and the M-Coder template, once clipped securely into place on the lens mount, allows you to transfer this code accurately to the lens.
Not all black inks are sensed reliably so included with the Coder Kit is a carefully chosen marker pen: the Zebra MO-120-MC-BK double-ended pen. As well as working reliably with the sensor, the ink is hard-wearing. The small tip is ideal for the M-Coder template, while the larger tip is suitable for increasing the size of the black mark on the M mount, if necessary. Remarkably, most M lenses can be encoded using the small tip only.
Using the Coder Kit, you can encode your lenses at your own convenience with no waiting period, for minimal cost.
Another advantage of temporarily encoding your own lenses with the Coder Kit is the ability to experiment on your lens using codes from other lenses. This is particulary useful for non-Leica lenses such as those from Cosina-Voigtlander or Zeiss.
The D-Coder gives you more than just the lens codes: it also lists the production date and body color for lenses. Further D-Coders are in development to assist with encoding Cosina-Voigtlander and Zeiss lenses.
It should be noted that this method of encoding is temporary: the ink will wear off – how long this takes depends on how tight a lens mounts to a camera, and how often a lens is removed and replaced.
