[Leica] Early days, please confirm sinking suspicion

Hi Spencer,
I only experienced the magenta cast on certain types of clothing (i.e, dark
clothing or tweed/harringbone type weaving). Also sometimes under indoor
fluorescent lighting.
Landscapes and people outside without those types of clothing had no
problems.
For the filters you might look at The Filter Connection:

Best for the Holidays,
Bob
