tommonego@gmail.com Posted October 24, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I was surprised just picked up a B+W UVIR filter. I wasn't expecting a huge difference in the images, but that is what I received. The filter is a 486 UV/IR cut. All with M8 and a 35 Summilux preasph with filter: Welcome, dear visitor!
