enboe Posted August 26, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 26, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) So, I just received a vintage Leica IR filter in 39mm thread and decided to try it out on the M8 today. Upon seeing photos on the playback screen, all I could think was, "this is so cool!" Fun stuff for less than $60 on top of the gear I already own. Tech details: ISO 2500, Color Temp 2000K, f/5.6, 1/125 or 1/180 sec, 28/2.8/ASPH refocused to a point between f/4 and f/5.6 on the depth of field scale, LR processing. Oh, and sorry these pictures are not "stock-worthy". Enjoy. Eric Welcome, dear visitor!

tobey bilek Posted August 26, 2013 Share #2 Posted August 26, 2013 No but you have to start somewhere. This us a learning/trial and now you are ready to get serious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted August 26, 2013 Share #3 Posted August 26, 2013 The M8 is the right body for further experimentation. A good start with much to enjoy in your future trials. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enboe Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted August 26, 2013 The vintage Leica filter is just marked IR. Perhaps someone else can lend insight into an equivalent filter number. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted August 27, 2013 Share #6 Posted August 27, 2013 The Leica ir is close to 092 B+W . I use then interchangeably. Back in the film days, I bought some Kodak gels, cut them in a circle, and a bit of clear tape hold them to the inside of a UV. Lee also made polyester ir that work ok. Cut cut ok also.
