[Leica] Consensus (? on LUG) on IR filters on M8

[vick.ko at sympatico.ca (Vick Ko)]

So, is there consensus on using IR filters on the M8, on lenses without
coding?  

I've searched the archives a bit, and get the perception:
*       using the filter does degrade the image slightly
*       it does work, but the magenta flaw happens only under pretty severe
conditions anyway
*       for the majority of photo conditions, the filter isn't necessary

I've been tempted with an M8, from a very reliable source and very tempting
conditions.
