[Leica] IMG: M8 Serious IR camera

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

We all know that the M8 has an IR problem. That knowledge and  
Henning's original IR photo, were a couple of the reasons why I  
wanted the M8. After having the camera for 2 full days of lousy  
weather, I finally decided to try a little IR photography anyway.

The weather was cloudy, no sun. Decided to just take a picture with  
the Hoya R72 Infrared filter anyway. In my backyard.

M8, 35mm Summilux Asph at f5.6, ISO 640 and filter. Camera set to  
aperture priority. Normal focus, no IR shift.
The meter set the shutter to 1/30 sec and I just snapped the shot.  
The exposure came out perfect. With almost no noise.

Now I'm anxious to set what the M8 can do in the Summer, with the sun  
out and some nice foliage.

I know. Boring picture. Just my backyard
