Leica 14mm f/3.8 lens profile embedded in the latest M9 firmware

By LR admin | Published: March 15, 2011

A l-camera-forum member discovered (by mistake) that Leica lens code 110011 triggers a 14mm/3.8 lens profile in the image EXIF data and by pressing the M9 info button. Currently Leica does not have a 14mm f/3.8 lens in their product catalog (the widest M lens currently available is the 18mm f/3.8 Super Elmar).

    I think the widest M lens is actually the Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21mm?

    Lens development was canceled in early 2009 due to financial issues. No chance, I think…

    Leicas don’t need a lens this wide… do you?

    Wasn’t the latest firmware several months ago, or did I miss an update?
