In terms of contrast correction, the 246 is much more effective (I get more mileage from an orange filter than from trying to use the sliders on Lightroom). My notes on color response: https://themachineplanet.wordpress.com/2015/09/16/the-leica-monochrom-typ-246-and-filters/ That said, you can get some focus shifts if with certain lenses and strong red filters. The 246 also gives you is higher perceived sharpness and much lower noise. It is also extremely unforgiving in terms of exposure.
