Yes, I know that; I am quite familiar with the process (as I stated in the subsequent line of my post which you snipped). What I was driving at - perhaps not too clearly - is the fact that I thought it is curious that there has been no mention, that I have seen, in either the responses to my query in this list, or in the mess of Leica web sites, of the advantage (if any) of being able to utilize filters without calculating (which can take only seconds, but seconds that might make a difference). Just an observation.. nothing heavy or contentious from my end.
