(Red worked also aside from the fact that it over-dramatized everything.) I find with the color M9, the ability to do multi-color filtering as well as experience has caused me to no longer do that, but I'll be very curious if the Sony A7r I've ordered will allow me to view, again and easily, through an "orange" filter (or B&W at all).
