Leica LTM Pre-war Leica glass, show your photos

Leica M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
Not completely prewar but close enough I think...

First shots back from recently purchased 1930s elmar on kodak gold / cvs processing. I am surprised by the sharpness and contrast. I thought the uncoated were supposed to be lower contrast. Pleasantly surprised by this lens so far.

Thanks-- I did a 16x12" RA4 darkroom colour print of the 'Rage' ride and won an award at my Club and when I told the judge he was shocked !
 
Thanks Dirk,

Lucky's poor Anti-Halation layer is probably the main source of the softeness next to the cleaning marks on the rear element.
