I don't have the Newer adapter. With the Funmount adapter I don't see a need to tweak the text file on the field. You choose one of the 12 lenses that you pre-define by selecting an f-stop between f/10 and f/36 on the camera, and cycling power.
Can you share exactly how to configure the lensinfo text file to enable this? I have yet to find any reliable and accurate info online about how to do this.

If you use the default lens definitions, you do not need to change the file "lens.txt". To select a lens, select the corresponding aperture according to the table in the following link, then take a picture and turn the camera on and off.
For example:
1. Set the camera's aperture to f/16 to select lens number 5, which by default is a 35mm f/2.
2. Take a picture of anything
3. Turn OFF the camera, then ON
Now the camera should indicate a 35mm f/2 lens. When imported into LR Classic, the EXIF indicates a Nikon 35/2 lens.
The table comes from the manual, which can be downloaded from the following link:
You can change the data on the file "lens.txt" to specify different lenses. The adapter attaches to the computer with a usb cable and shows off as an external drive with the file. You should use an ascii text editor to modify the file, and make sure you save the modified file and properly eject the drive.

I just got a TTArtisan 6-bit M-Z adapter running firmware 1.0.0. Is it worth updating to 1.0.2, or are there any known issues introduced with the newer version?

I updated it from v1.0.0 to v1.0.2 (which is the latest on their website), but the camera is now showing 2.0.2 instead. Not sure if anyone else is seeing that.
Either way, good news is that the original firmware didn't recognize the 6-bit coding on my Leica 28mm f/1.4 Lux, but after the update it reads it correctly now.
