Notes
• Many lenses have their item number engraved on the opposite
side of the depth of field scale.
• The list also includes lenses that used to be available without
encoding (pre-June 2006). Newer lenses are all provided with
encoding and can therefore be automatically detected.
• When using the Leica Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21 f/4 ASPH., the set
focal length is not transferred to the camera housing will
therefore also not be included in the EXIF picture dataset. You
can, however, enter the focal length manually.
• Tri-Elmar-M 28-35-50 f/4 ASPH., on the other hand, comes
equipped with the means for mechanical transmission of the set
focal length to the camera need for mirroring the correct
bright-line frame in the viewfinder. The focal length is scanned
by the camera electronics and the information is used for focal
length-specific corrections. Due to space limitations, the menu
only contains an item number (11 625). The two other variants
– 11 890 and 11 894 – can be used as well and the menu
settings will apply.

The lens type must also be entered manually when attaching a
Leica R lens via the Leica R adapter. The camera will automatically
switch to
