Yesterday I received a 40ish year old Elmar, purchased from a fellow  
LUGger.
thought some of you may enjoy seeing this lens performance with the M8.

Works beautifully with the Viso III.
Severe back focus without it.

The lens does show some chromatic aberrations with color
yet, has a wonderful signature with black and white.

Fond regards,
George
