| Digital Leica M8 / M8.2 / M9 / M-E /Mono / M10 aka "M" Discussions about the Leica M8 /M 8.2 / M9 / M9-P/ M-E / M Monochrom / M10 aka "M": Leica digital M mount rangefinder cameras. Naming the new digital M the "Leica M" is VERY unfortunate as it will only confuse newbies with other Leica M cameras of the the past. Happily there is room for confusion with only the past 59 years of Leica M production ... since Leica introduced the Leica M system in 1953. All Hail for the Leica Marketing Department learning Leica M history! |

Hi,
Without IR filter ? do you mean that for B&W it is better to shoot without it ? What the difference it makes ?
I shoot mostly in B&W with my M8.2 do I have to take my filters off ?
Regards

I was talking about the Heliopan RG715 IR filter, but to your information, for b&w it's better without any filter at all.
The sensitivity of the M8 to IR is a good thing for taking b&w pictures, so you can take the filter out and shoot in DNG.

I swap the red and blue channels in photoshop, then adjust the hue of the blue from cyan to a dark blue. Requires the trees to be lit by strong sunlight otherwise they don't look so white, which adds to the contrast.

You are my man ! I have the M8 for just the same purpose. You can adjust the M8 images to come out of the camera just the way you like. Mostly I shoot BW Jpeg and RAW simultaneously. If I "disagree" on what M 8 gives me out of the camera, I can always tweak the raw image. I see the M8 more like a digital "Polaroid" I always carry the analog M3 & m4 rapidwinders also with me when doing street shooting. If i go "serious" then I carry just the hassy with CFV... |

Just google false colour IR, there are lots of amazing photos and tutorials. Most people don't realise that the M8 is the perfect IR camera because of the rangefinder focusing. Doing handheld IR is just so amazing. Enjoy |

Yep, this is true. With the Heliopan RG715 i loose about 5 stops, but i can still handheld the M8, due to her amazing IR sensitivity. It's a nice filter to try out new things. The swap channels is a good trick to achieve a good look.
And in B&W it's cool too.

Yes, handheld IR is fun. I have done this with my rebuilt (for IR) Canon G3.
And now with my M8.
