While one won't necessarily get "disasters" without the filters on the M8(.2). one will achieve significantly higher quality with the filters M8(.2). Significant enough to make me want to get filters for my two ancient lenses; the 65 and 135 elmars. Had I had the filter for a recent shoot with the 135 I'd have saved a whole lot of time in Lightroom and achieved a MUCH better result.
