Putting old lenses on new, high-end DSLR or mirrorless cameras seems counterintuitive, so why would anyone want to do that? The simple answer is that many older lenses can capture images that have that elusive quality known as character. For photographers or videographers looking to create unique images that express their personal style, character can be even more important than resolution numbers, corner-to-corner sharpness, and other benefits of the near-perfect lenses that are common today.

The Leica M 6-bit lens coding system works with firmware in the newer camera bodies (starting with M8) to correct for different lenses. The lens encoding is called 6-bit encoding 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 information on the lens is used to help the camera optimize image quality and this information is also written into the EXIF ??image file.
