Hi Chris,Okay, as a neophyte when it comes to Leica, my question was going to be what does coding get you; but that's has been answered to some degree.
So my new question is:
1.) What (if anything) is different about using a coded vs. uncoded lens on an M6?
2.) Is it always better to have a lens coded? Is there every a time you would rather have an uncoded lens? Why/Why not?
Thanks!

There's a site you might want to be reading. <G>
1) A coded lens won't make the slightest difference on an M6.
2) That question takes a long time to answer. Here's where the many articles I've written on this could really come in handy. As a rule, life with IR filters is easier if a lens is coded unless its wider than 21 mm. Then, much can be debated.
Introduction in a nutshell:
12 mm - coding mostly a waste of time
15 - 18 mm - coding vs. Cornerfix can be debated
21 mm - 35/40 mm - coding makes life much easier but Cornerfix is an alternative
50 mm and longer - coding not strictly needed
There's a lot to read on this topic.
Cheers.
