[Leica] Re: Donning his asbestos suit, he asks: "Filters for the 75/1.4M indoors?"

[Jim Brick <jimbrick@photoaccess.com>]

I use slide film and the "restaurant glow" looks OK to me. I do use filters
on my 75, polarizer and KR3 occasionally. You can use a multi-layer print
film that seems to help conquer the orange glow. I don't use it so someone
else can fill that in.
