Here's what a 70 year old un-coated Leica Elmar can do on an M8. As of 2000 12% of all Leica lenses sold were Elmar 3.5's, They remained in production from 1924 to 1961.

I'd love to see how this does with an ir/cut filter

Sherry K. has it for a full CLA and I've go a SOOGZ to fit it with a cut filter when it gets back. I just shot it a few times and sent it to Sherry. Hopefully, it be back by Thanksgiving.
