Just got a terrific M8 Lens Coder Kit for $5

<p>Greetings!<br /> <br /> I simply have to share with you the terrific $5 coder kit I just received from Bo Lorentzen. It works like magic, and you only have to color the black codes, no need for the white colors. All you need is a black Sharpie or a felt tipped pen, and you're in business.<br /> <br /> Bo knows coding!<br /> <br /> <em>(Note: I have no affiliation with Bo L, but thought I'd share this handy tool with anyone out there in GetDPI land, as it is <strong>really disappointing </strong> (to put it mildly) that Leica AG won't provide firmware for coding the lenses.)</em> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://bophoto.typepad.com/bophoto/2009/01/m8-coder-simple-manual-handcoding-of-m-lenses.html" target="_blank">http://bophoto.typepad.com/bophoto/2...-m-lenses.html</a></p>

<p>Best Regards to all!</p>

<p>Thanks, Vic. Leica just wanted those M8's to go away sooner than later to put the dark side of the Leica history to bed. Bo's coder comes in handy for a good price, even for M9 owners, I have read in a few times that some forgot to switch between auto and manual lens detection.</p>
