wlaidlaw Posted June 11, 2007 Share #22 Posted June 11, 2007 Hi Wilson, I think what you may find is that when you're shooting into the light, you'll want to take the filters off (or change vantage point). Is not the fault of the lens, of course - it can happen with any lens. I deal with this at weddings, for example. Cheers, Sean Sean, The problem is and it would be there at weddings a lot too, is that black dinner jackets/tuxedos or "little black numbers" seem to absolutely the worst for magenta shift. How do you cope with it with no filter - use one of Jamie's magenta reduction profiles? Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted June 11, 2007 Share #23 Posted June 11, 2007 How do you cope with it with no filter - use one of Jamie's magenta reduction profiles? That's easy. You tell the client that b&w is sooo much classier than colour that you wouldn't consider shooting it any other way <grin> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you cope with it with no filter - use one of Jamie's magenta reduction profiles? Wilson Hi Wilson, I provide all the files from a wedding edit to my clients in B&W and color so I do need to be concerned with that. As a rule, with or without filters, I tend not to shoot into the sun, esp. for commercial work. There's usually a way to accomplish that. But, yes, if I need to shoot into the sun at a wedding, I pull off the filter and work with the Jamie profile, etc. after - or I use the 5D. That said, its rare that I need to do that and most of my wedding pics are made with M8 and filters. A few months ago, I interviewed one of the people who designed the 486 filters (which the Leica filters are based on, essentially) and he conceded that no matter what coatings are added to a filter, certain lighting conditions can raise havoc with them. This is true for any kind of filter from any manufacture. People are sometimes fond of saying that filter XYZ never shows flare, etc. but what that really means is that they haven't yet encountered a situation where that filter flared. For my personal work, I generally don't use filters. I work mostly in B&W and when I shoot in color, I've decided to "give the M8 its head".
