This suggests interesting things about perception. And, again, you and I are not the only people using this camera and I'm not the only one who has shot weddings with it. Yet, have you ever seen a debate about IR and the R-D1? I haven't.
Cheers,

Sean, How about maybe because it was never as serious a problem? did you consider that possible answer? (A different statement from the phrasing you chose in your article that the RD1 has a "weaker" IR issue than the M8.)
Both shots below with the 35 Summilux ASPH at f8 through C1. Guess which is with the RD1 and which with the M8? And if you added a shot of the same with a 5d or a D2x, you would see the magenta in the RD1. But which of the two camera IR problems below go from not a real problem to a shot killer?
Sean, I would expect more from you than trying to deal with the M8 issues by signing on to distract people by pointing to speculation about other cameras -- especially ones that you made a career with and worked with for years (many very good articles that helped launch your site and apparently happy wedding customers). Do you really believe that the only difference between the M8 and the RD1 is that the RD1 wedding parties (and you in your multitude of reviews and photographing) never noticed in your pictures that the guy in the black suit next to the bride had no black?
You spoke of red herrings in another thread. But if this thread isn't one, what in the world is? And is it really helping encourage Leica to produce a camera that will sell beyond a very small circle only slightly larger than the RD1 market?
