Hey y'all, I'm looking at getting a 50mm lens for my M8 and it'll probably be a vintage Leitz-era Elmarit or Summicron (or maybe another CV- the classic Heliar looks cool) and I was wondering what settings to use on the M8 with it, WRT, lens detection and UV-IR?
Sean has written that coding isn't needed for 50mm lenses and above, so I might skip having John Milich mill the flange on the 50. I do plan on using an IR cut filter, though. Should I leave the lens detection settings at "on uv-ir" or turn it off completely? If I turn it off, will that have a deleterious effect on the files, requiring the use of CornerFix? Or, should I just go ahead and have the lens coded?
Thanks, oh Leica gurus!
