[Leica] More pictures with / without IR cut filter and lens codes off and on

[cummer at netvigator.com (Howard Cummer)]

Hi Tom,
The rumoured Leica M8 for B&W only will, it is supposed, let all the  
IR through and further enhance recording of detail. This was  
discussed briefly at the LHSA meeting in Wetzlar last October - and I  
know that Tom A is waiting for one. Will follow your suggestion and  
convert the tungsten pix to grey scale.
Cheers,
Howard
