And one year after the last post in this thread, I can report that the lens is excellent on the M 11 Mono, too... No distortion here, just look at the sides.

The 24 Elmarit-M ASPH is the lens for which Leica lens reviewer Erwin Puts coined the term "clinical." Very contrasty and very sharp and very "stark," like a built-in "Clarity" filter. Paved the way for the 28 Summicron ASPH and 21 Elmarit ASPH.

IMHE slightly better than the f/3.8 in pure definition in the center (the Elmar improves on the Elmarit in the corners). But almost too stark for my taste.

Produces very strong "stars" around, say, bright street lights at night.

Below is about the only remaining 24 Elmarit image in my collection (like pixelman, I am more of a 21/28/35 guy, myself) - made on Pan F film with an E55 close-up lens to move in tight.

Nice portrait, thanks for sharing. Is there any drawback to that close up elpro lens/filter?
Thank you,

Mark

I bought my copy when I was shooting with a M8 because the M8's widest frame lines were for the 24mm.  My copy is sharp all the way to the edges.  My picture count in Lightroom has as many 24mm keepers as those shot with 35 and 50mm lenses.   The 24mm pictures taken with the M10 R and M10 M are pixel peeking sharp.

Here are a couple of recent shots at 2.8 wide open with very weird flare. Might this be a lens defect? Your thoughts, please.

Ghost images caused by a filter i guess.
