Hi all,

 

First time M user here, just got my M8 and a Voiglander 50mm F1.1. Looking for a 58mm sized IR cut filter cause the color cast are really bugging me in some situations.

 

Any recommendations?

 

I also found this on Amazon:

 

Amazon.com: B+W 65-014690 58mm UV/IR Cut Filter #486: Camera & Photo

 

Will this work?

 

Thanks.

The B&W filters are fine. I've used them with Leica lenses with no suggestion of colour cast at all in a variety of lighting conditions. Obviously some extreme lighting conditions need tweaking at pre-printing stage but there is none of the purple cast on black fabrics that appear with no filter. I have also got a Leica filter of the same type and in general shooting, I cannot tell the difference.

Welcome to the forum!

 

The B+W 486 you mention is a perfect choice.

The usual players are Leica or B+W for the ircut filters.

B+W make "odd" size filters that match the filter thread diameters of many CV lenses.

Whereas Leica oddly enough only sell those that fit its own lenses

 

B+W are usually much less expensive than Leica which is another bonus.

I'm using the B+W UV/IR Cut filter on my Nokton f1.1 and it works like a champ!
