For what it is worth this is my first foray into the RF/Leica world so I'm working through a few things.

Is the photo color rendering due to not having an IR filter on or is it a coating issue? This lens does have a lot of miles and the front coating has some issue but no scratch on the front and small in the rear.

The set up is M8 with Elmarit-M 28 2.8 Leitz "Made in Canada" on the front of the lens. It was a bargain bin lens so if this is not due to the milages of the lens I'm good to go..if the fix is post adjustments or filter I'm OK otherwise I may have to return it.

Shot in RAW and sooc.

Thanks for the help!

IR Issue with green leafs. If you intend to convert everything in bw, then leave the filter away. For color, get a filter.
 
Thanks so much! I like the lens so far...just picked it up yesterday. And it is a beater for sure but took a chance on it. It had the hood too.

I'll post some I converted into BW over in the right thread.

So I guess I need to find a UVIR...I have one but it is a 39
