Subject: [Leica] Coded or non coded lenses, that is the question

That may be true, although the center of the image is also much improved.  
But then it does nothing for the performance of my 90/2.8 Tele-Elmarit Thin. 
 Which is unfortunate as it is a nice compact lens.

The M8 cuts off the edges of the image circle because of the APS-H sensor.
 The coding makes most difference at the edges and on the 24x36mm sensors.
