[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have been testing my WA Tri-Elmar on my M8 with the 1.102 firmware and the B+W IR cut filter. I am finding that the B+W is too strong and the lens detection + UV/IR filter setting does not fully eliminate cyan creep. At 16mm the cyan creep is quite pronounced and unacceptable with tungsten light. I don't see the problem in daylight. Since the Leica 67mm UV/IR cut filter will not be available for two months there is no way of knowing how well it will work. I just noticed there is a thread on the Leica Users Forum that suggests the B+W filter should not be used for lenses 21mm and wider because it's too strong as I found. I will be returning the 67mm B+W filter and will try another brand filter. All my other filters are Heliopan which I'll be able to test when I get my 21mm back from Leica for coding. Len
