jdlaing Posted April 22, 2016 Share #2 Posted April 22, 2016 No. You need IR Cut filters. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernstk Posted April 22, 2016 Share #3 Posted April 22, 2016 If you don't want to use an expensive Leica filter, the B+W 486 is a very good cheaper alternative. Ernst PS Welcome to the forum! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

david strachan Posted April 22, 2016 Share #5 Posted April 22, 2016 Enjoy. I always use UV/IR filters. To me they are necessary for colour tuning the light for the sensor. You don't really need them for B&W work, it's said, but I leave them on anyway. Make sure to remove any filters for night work or you end up with funny flare reflections from bright lights. The M8 is a very good camera for wide angle lenses. The Voigtlander 15mm f4 is popular and acts like 20mm lens on full frame (M9). Sharp and good rendering/colours, it is inexpensive. For longer the Leica 90mm f4 C is a cute lens which is excellent...again very good value...nice for "stand-back" portraiture. There's a plethora of good stuff in ltm mount out there too...just need an adapter. We'll love to see you put some images up in the M8 sub-forum when you've got time. Good luck with it, cheers Dave S 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phan11699 Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted April 22, 2016 I think i will use it mainly for B&W work . I'll put some results online as long as i've got my lens . Thanks Dave ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
