If the lens mount (or mount adapter) has the flange recesses, any good lacquer paint should work well. I have lacquer paint pens in black and white to do such marking. Once painted, and dried properly, it never wears away and can only be removed with nail polish remover (aka acetone).Traveling right now, but on FM Fred mentioned a paint he used to 6 bit code lenses so that it would not rub off. It worked. I coded my VM 75/1.5 as a Summilux 75/1.4 and it works flawlessly.
Go to post #32 - posted a link to a toolcut kit that has severed very well with both Leica and Voigtlander. I also used it to replace a battery in my Dell laptop! Well with the moneyI am having a problem finding the right size screwdriver bit to fit the very shallow groove in the small flathead screws of the Voigtlander 50/2 APO Lanthar. I have the replacement coded lens plate but getting the original plate off is going to be an issue.
Mine are all coded as wellI decide to send my Tri-Elmar 28-35-50 in to have it coded. I began the conversation with Leica on April 9, getting confirmation of receipt on April 19. I received information that the lens was being sent to the factory on April 22. I also received an estimate for the work requested around this same time. I received an email this morning stating the work has been completed and the lens is on it way home to me. Total cost was less than the estimate coming in at $284.24. All my lenses are now properly coded.
