ronniestern Posted February 19, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted February 19, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) 1- Is a UV filter the same as the ir filter you need for proper flash? Â 2- What is LFI, and Where can I find the article in LFI 2/2007 which describes the M8 TTL? Sorry if I should know this... but haven't used my Leica in years till M8 came out! Love it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilfredo Posted February 19, 2007 Share #2  Posted February 19, 2007 Ronnie,  I'm not clear what it is you are asking in the first question. The IRUV filter is needed for color photography when using the M8.  Here's a link to a subscription website:  LFI International  The last two issues deal extensively with the M8. I have an extra copy of the last issue which I will probably sell on E-bay. If you or anyone else is interested drop me an e-mail. The last issue of LFI addresses the IRUV filter issue along with other M8 issues.  Cheers, Wilfredo+ Benitez-Rivera Photography Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shootist Posted February 19, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted February 19, 2007 No a IR filter blocks InfraRed light. A UV filter blocks UltraViolet light. Although Leica is including UV with there IR filters.

dhoelscher Posted February 19, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted February 19, 2007 Yes, Â The B+W 486 filters (and probably the Leica-branded Schneider filters that M8 purchasers get two of) filter out (or reflect or whatever) both UV and IR.
