Thank you so much Arjuna, the correction has been made, you are correct ! :salute: I really appreciate the info, cheers!Well, at the risk of being an internet geek, I think that the third one is SPQR: SPQR is an initialism from a Latin phrase, Senātus Populusque Rōmānus ("The Senate and People of Rome"), referring to the government of the ancient Roman Republic, and used as an official emblem of the modern day comune (municipality) of Rome. It appears on coins, at the end of documents made public by inscription in stone or metal, in dedications of monuments and public works, and was emblazoned on the standards of the Roman legions.
The phrase appears many hundreds of times in Roman political, legal and historical literature, including the speeches of Cicero and the Ab urbe condita libri ("Books from the Founding of the City") of Titus Livius (Livy).
The title's date of establishment is unknown, but it first appears in inscriptions of the Late Republic, from c. 80 BC onwards.

On the M9, I code mine as an Elmarit 21 ASPH. Almost completely removes the vignetting and the colors are very good. Only downside is that the camera won't report an aperture wider than 2.8.I love that shot - the combination of extra wide FOV and really good pop from shallow DOF is quite unusual and makes that lens look very attractive - do you have any comments on usability? Such as how you either code it ir what you tell the camera it is? And how well the camera deals with colour shifts?
Thanks for sharing!

Both the widest aperture and the actual (estimated) aperture are reported in the exif data and recognized by many raw converters (LR, Aperture, Capture One ...). The widest aperture of the lens is taken from the 6 bit code or from the manual input, the actual aperture is just an estimate, same as in the M8 and M9, determined using the camera light meter and the "blue dot" readings.Can the new M recognize change in apertures? What difference does it make if the widest aperture is reported as f/0.95 or f/2.8?
Hi Matt - congratulations - you'll love it . . . . I've just had my lugs sorted out in Solms today - I'm not allowed to use a strap on it for 24 hours.I'm going to "bump" this thread because I should have one of these, tomorrow! . Poor WB, detachable lugs, jittery video, buttons in the wrong places, EVF "wart", overpriced, under-whelming...and, all.
Cheers, Matt

So you got it? If so, congrats. :thumbup:M with Leica 35mm f/1.4 FLE.
Cheers, Matt
I did! On my way to Spokane today, so, it won't get much use. This weekend I'll be out with it. Keep meaning to connect in SLC. I'm sending someone else to the site/draw meetings. I need to go down to see the building in the next couple of months. I'll see if your available for coffee when I do.So you got it? If so, congrats. :thumbup:
Looking forward to some pix. And to your visit here. I'll make time. :thumbup:I did! On my way to Spokane today, so, it won't get much use. This weekend I'll be out with it.

Cheers, and say hi to Mimi.

Yes but on Lightroom 4, it is predicting aperture all over the place, especially when shot wide open. For instance, on a f/1.4 or f/2 shot, it often shows an aperture of f/11 or f/16 and this is quite frequent. Not sure if anyone knows of a fix for LR?Can the new M recognize change in apertures? What difference does it make if the widest aperture is reported as f/0.95 or f/2.8?
