I don't follow why you are underexposing landscapes by 2/3 stop on whatever exposure you come up with. It seems like a lot of information to not capture to avoid possible clipping? Does the Monochrom have the ability, like the M (typ 240) to set what clipping levels you want indicated? On the filters, for whatever it is worth I believe that Leica Camera announced some new production of coloured filters at Photokina. I don't know who will actually be manufacturing them Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 22 October 2014 12:07, Peter Klein <pklein at threshinc.com> wrote: > OK, I'll play.
