They claim the D2H and the M8 have the same problem. I don't think so. I think the D2H is the only Nikon designed sensor, though. But I do have an old D1H that has good IR sensitivity. (used it for IR photos before the m8). Until I get some slim filters I'll keep them off of the two wide angles. I'm going to order some Heliopans from my dealer.
