PasMichiel Posted July 15, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 15, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Don't want to waste any film... And don't know if it will be a color film or black/white one in the M6. I think it will be black/white. Although I find Black/white digital nice. Because my 35mm has a sun cap I don't think I will remove the filter going from digital to analog sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Hi PasMichiel, Take a look here What happens keeping the UV/iR filter when putting the lens from my M8 to my M6?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted July 15, 2010 Share #2 Posted July 15, 2010 Black and white should not make a significant difference. For color you'll have to remove it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars_bergquist Posted July 15, 2010 Share #3 Posted July 15, 2010 To be more specific: You will have a cyan colour shift, getting progressively stronger in the direction towards the corners. The old man from the Age of the M8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hector_jorge Posted July 15, 2010 Share #6 Posted July 15, 2010 To be more specific: You will have a cyan colour shift, getting progressively stronger in the direction towards the corners. The old man from the Age of the M8 I have the same trouble. Recently I bought an Elmarit M 28 with the Leica filter. I asked for a UV filter, and the clerk sold me the Leica UV/IR filter. I don`t have yet a Digital M, so I will use the lens for color and B&W. According your opinion it will be better to buy aother non Leica UV filter to take color pictures with my new `28 lens?

jaapv Posted July 15, 2010 Share #7 Posted July 15, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Lars is right. Even better to use no filter at all. If you want a filter for protection buy a B&W 007 "protective" filter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSU Posted July 22, 2010 Share #8 Posted July 22, 2010 I do this regularly, interchanging my lenses between my M8.2's and my M6's. I shoot color and B&W with the digital but only B&W film. I observe no difference in exposure between lenses used for both digital and B&W film that have the UV/IR Cut filters and those lenses I use only for B&W film with typical UV filters. If one is to deliberately shoot B&W only with the digital Leica consider doing so without the UV/IR cut filter, use a standard UV filter instead to protect the front element. The added IR sensitivity affords additional tonality, particularly in deep shadows, when IR is present. I can't imagine why there would be a cyan shift progressively towards the corners using the UV/IR Cut filter for color film. This anomaly is strictly an issue for the Leica digital sensor with the micro lens correction for uniform illumination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 22, 2010 Share #9 Posted July 22, 2010 No,the angle of incidence of the light on the filter changes the transmission spectrum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjh Posted July 23, 2010 Share #10 Posted July 23, 2010 The angle-dependent colour shift is something you can see with your own eyes, no camera required (much less a digital one). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
