Don't need to
Don't need to
I have no doubts about magenta issues with specific black synthetics, but I just shot 100+ images of subject on a white cotton background, bracketing exposures, with no cyan corners at all.
Lens is not coded, and no filter was used. The lens is a 28/2.8 Canon, 50 or so years old. Setup on M8 was told no lens detection and no uv/ir filter.

That must've been it
Seriously, I do believe this can be experienced with respect to magenta cast, as it heavily depends on subject and light. I wasn't believing it myself completely, unless I reviewed shots of my son and a specific pullover. Some shots were OK, but then there were some with evident trace of magenta.
The cyan cast in corners may or may not be disturbing. Shoot a white area with correct WB with and without filter + coding to see it yourself. Or check out Sean Reids tests.
Kind regards

Many thanks for all of your advice. I have now purchased a s/h mint example of a 35mm Summicron ASPH. I decided against the new Summarit or a CV that I would probably end up selling.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Great!

That is a great lens. A tad larger than some others mentioned, but one of the best 35s for color.

I bought all sorts of lenses for my M8, but recently I bought a very clean 40mm f2 Summicron C, the standard lens used on the Leica/Minolta CL. It was relatively inexpensive and I modified the framing cam in about 5 minutes in accordance with the various threads on this site so it would bring up the 35mm frame in the viewfinder. It is typical of the Summicron quality in a very small, light weight and compact lens that is perfect for every day shooting when i don't want to lug around my 35mm f 1.2 Nokton. I'm sure that others will agree with my comments on this lens since that is what lead me to look for one in the first place.
