Comment about not including the IR filter on the sensor... the M8 solution could have been the solution for the S2 as well....but I think they did not have the chutzpah to try that one again, especially on pros..... I am giving them full credit for doing the right thing.... IR filter always there....on the sensor, where it belongs.

Why would a reflex camera not include the filter, unless you want infrared to influence the photos? >If you wish to produce the very best, why bother with an element that has >negative effect on the image, that could be left off? To limit the recorded spectrum to the visible range, i.e., to produce accurate colors and record only those wavelenghts the lens is corrected for. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
