[Leica] [LRflex] Something new from me

Very effective.  Looks like you found a new use for the oft maligned M8.

Any questions?  :-)

Leica M8, 35/2 Summicron IV at f/5.6. Hoya R72* filter for the IR shot.
Best IR obtained using the right-hand f/2 DOF mark, based on a very
quick hand-held test.  The M8 TTL metering is close enough to be useful.
The M8's IR shutter speeds in sunlight are about 1/60 second plus or
minus one stop at mid-apertures and ISO 160.  I boosted the red channel
and general contrast in the B&W conversion. The idea was to get the
leaves almost white but still maintain some detail.
