Guest guy_mancuso Posted November 10, 2006 Share #2 Posted November 10, 2006 Well I am working on getting us working now and the cut filter works Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJLogan Posted November 10, 2006 Share #3 Posted November 10, 2006 As I've watched from the sidelines (I'm not an M shooter) over the last few days, I've often been reminded of a great moment from "The Simpsons." In the early moments of a potential crisis, the news anchorman asks his "expert" guest: "Without knowing any of the facts, would you say now is the perfect time to panic?" If I was holding an M8, I can't say if I'd have panicked or not--so no criticism is implied. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptomsu Posted November 10, 2006 Share #4 Posted November 10, 2006 Well I am working on getting us working now and the cut filter works Folks, I cannot help myself, but filters are not the solution. This is not necessary in C or N cameras and I do not want to understand I should use filters on the already slow M, this would prevent me then from doing any effective photography. So if filters stay the great wisdom with M8 then it's NOT my camera :-((( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakley Posted November 10, 2006 Share #6 Posted November 10, 2006 Peter, I'm geniunely confused by what you mean by: "I do not want to understand I should use filters on the already slow M, this would prevent me then from doing any effective photography." Presumably if you're going to fit an IR cut filter to your Leica lenses it will be there all the time, as would a Skylight filter used as front-element protection - so no time would be spent mounting and unmounting it. And the 486 IR cut filter has a filter factor of 1.0, so no lens speed would be lost either. Can you explain what you think would take extra time, and what you would be prevented from doing with a filter on the lens? I really don't understand what you mean here...

newyorkone Posted November 10, 2006 Share #7 Posted November 10, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) But after sleeping on it I'm not so sure anymore. I'm actually contemplating getting a hold of a "problem" M8 BEFORE Leica fixes it...why? Because then I will have a M8 that does very well with IR filters for regular work and also a very IR sensitive M8 to use for IR photography...it's like having two cameras in one! The million dollar question is, will it be a star at both or just a jack of two trades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R10dreamer Posted November 10, 2006 Share #8 Posted November 10, 2006 I've never heard of a slow 35mm camera. A slow lens yes, but camera no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted November 10, 2006 Share #9 Posted November 10, 2006 Peter it is completely a temporary fix and in my test thread i said it also that leica needs to put this inside the camer on the sensor becuase filters will not cut it. This is just to get me to get this camera in service and make me some money. LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eronald Posted November 10, 2006 Share #10 Posted November 10, 2006 I've never heard of a slow 35mm camera. A slow lens yes, but camera no. Hehe, Alpa cameras had a reputation for being really slow to use. Edmund Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grober Posted November 10, 2006 Share #11 Posted November 10, 2006 So I'll just send the bill for the four diameters of cut filters that I'll need to Leica for prompt payment then? -g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
