I had this discussion this evening with my photo workshop instructor, who was unfamiliar with the effects of an 87C (because he works with SLR in 35 and 120). He tried to steer me to a 25A filter, but I pointed out that with a rangefinder the blackness of an 87C is not an issue. Anywho, thanks for your constructive comments. G.
