Release date: June 6th, 2006 New 6-bit coding of Leica M system lenses for image optimization with the digital M Leica Camera AG, Solms will be giving the lenses of the Leica rangefinder system a new code on the bayonet ring in the future to enable the planned digital Leica M camera to recognize the lens type.
How do you code Leica lenses?
The “Other Lenses” column lists lenses which are known to benefit from the same coding as the Leica lens in the “Lens Name” column. The “Framelines” column indicates the primary framelines the lens code works with.

What is 6-bit lens?
The lens coding is called ‘6-bit coding’ because six fields in the bayonet ring are marked in black or white to represent a number from 1 to 64 in binary code. The planned digital M camera reads this information optically and can identify the lens on the basis of this code.

What sensors do Leica use?
The M uses a CMOS 24-megapixel (6,000 × 4,000 pixels) image sensor designed for Leica by the Belgian company CMOSIS, and made by STMicroelectronics in Grenoble. The pixels are on a 6 x 6 µm² grid. The M supports most M-mount lenses and, with an adapter, almost all R-mount lenses.
