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

[leowesson at gmail.com (leo wesson)]

Hello Ted,

Usually I am shooting available light under whatever room light
exists(tungsten, fluorescent, candles, halide,window) and  occasionally I
will use bounce flash.  I usually shoot with  my M8 and also a Nikon D200.
If I don't have the IR filter on the M8, I can't get any consistency in
color between the 2 cameras.  Usually there are folks wearing black, dark
blue or dark green clothes and that can cause a funny color shift  to show
up.  I tried to workaround not using the filters and it was a big headache,
lots of photoshop time and the results weren't really something I felt good
about giving a client.
