  You're right! Why should I worry about color? Maybe this whole magenta 
problem is an ingenious scheme on Leica's part to get us to renounce color 
photography, once and for all! Everyone will say, "Wow, I never knew colors 
were supposed to look like that! Forget it, I will never try to take a 
another color photograph!" ;-) 

  Some people have speculated that the IR problems also cause tonality 
shifts in black and white. I don't know if that has been confirmed or not.

  Regards,

Just convert to B&W, then you won't have to worry about color casts.
