[Leica] IMG: Another Monochrome Lighthouse

[Geoff Hopkinson]

Hi Tina at the risk of adding confusion/distraction, here goes!
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
