jcrutcher Posted August 26, 2010 Share #1 Posted August 26, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) When I switch the lens from my M8 to M3 or M6 I always take off the filter. should I? If I shouldn't is it ok to put a 81A on top of the IR lens? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

segnic13 Posted August 26, 2010 Share #2 Posted August 26, 2010 I actually leave mine on when i switch lenses to M6. So far, there's no major colour distortion or anything when I scan my negatives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted August 26, 2010 Share #3 Posted August 26, 2010 When changing from my M8 to my MP I remove the UV/IR filter - when I remember - but I doubt that it's that important since I only use Tri-X. Since you've mentioned a 81A warming filter it sounds like you're using a colour emulsion but a colour emulsion and I recall reading reports on the forum about colour casts from UV/IR filters. If you're going to put a 81A on top of a UV/IR you might like to consider the additional potential for flare and vignetting but other than that there shouldn't be a problem. Pete.

Photon42 Posted August 26, 2010 Share #4 Posted August 26, 2010 UVIR cut filters matter with color film, when your used focal length is around 35mm or shorter. I recommend taking them of in this cases. Rgds Ivo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdemas Posted August 29, 2010 Share #5 Posted August 29, 2010 I generally leave them on for B&W, remove them for color. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
razerx Posted September 2, 2010 Share #6 Posted September 2, 2010 Not exactly on point but one time I was shooting with the M8.2 w/24mm Elmarit coded and with uv/ir when the battery died. I then mounted the lens on my R-D1 and continued shooting. When I processed the RAW files from the R-D1 the colors were fine. At least I didn't see any influence from the filter when used on the Epson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 2, 2010 Share #7 Posted September 2, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) You should see an improvement on the Epson - it is IR sensitive. And the small sensor cuts off the cyan corners Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
