I may provide a partial answer only - to my knowledge all 50ies Leica lenses
have got some sort of coating, but the later their production date, the more
sophisticated the coating. And that was particularly true of
even-then-top-of-the-line M lenses.
And I'm expecting to be corrected on the subject.

I'm thinking about getting a 50mm Elmar and had a few questions my
reference books couldn't answer. Perhaps someone here can shed some
light on this.
1) Are all postwar LTM Elmar 50mm/3.5 coated?
2) Is the early 50mm/3.5 and 50mm/2.8 in M mount coated?
3) Does anyone notice a big difference in contrast/flare
between the 50/3.5 coated/uncoated and the 2.8?
Thanks,
feli
