I just discovered with my Leica M Tele-Elmar 135/4 that if I enter non-CPU lens data for it, in-body VR becomes enabled. Apparently the VR system needs the focal length. Without the data, no VR.
I think my use pattern will be to pre-set U1/U2/U3 for non-chipped lenses, basically enable peaking support, the proper lens data, zoom on OK, etc, in A mode (since that's pretty much all I shoot). Then when I swap lenses just turn the dial. Then back to "A" for chipped F or S mount lenses. This way I can set it up in advance when I pack the bag.
