Thanks again for taking so much time to make and ship these templates. Mine arrived yesterday and they look great. I really appreciate your generous offer to help out your fellow FM Leica shooters. Just another example of why this forum is so good.
Ditto. Thanks so very much, Steve. This was very kind of you, and I also appreciate the time you took to write instructions and share your tips and learnings.

Thanks Steve! The templates are really high quality and the instructions that came along with them are very detailed. Many thanks again for doing this.
This has been awesome Steve, have been able to code all of my Voigtlander lenses. Fantastic instructions also. I found penciling in the code then painting on after removing the template worked best for me

Yes, this is how I do it as well. I never paint on the template. I trace it with a very thin tip sharpie and paint afterwards.
Penciling the code is indeed a much better method. Although it is not as clean as Fred Miranda, it is way cleaner than when I was painting it straight on the template.

I am glad that it worked well for you. Everyone seems to be having good success with it. The penciling method is the best way to do it.
There are still a few sets left for those who want one.

For those that live in the EU and are hesitant of asking:
Delivery to Germany took only a few days, big thanks!
I am glad to hear that people in the EU are getting theirs quickly.
Unfortunately the guys in Australia are still waiting for theirs. They must be on a slow boat or something.
Anyone who had ordered one and have not received it let me know. I have held a few in reserve to replace those that get lost in the mail, or somehow arrive damaged. I included 2 templates in everyone's envelope to cover for damage, but you never know, the P.O. may manage to break both.
