[Leica] Working with the M8--- Not Given the Chance

[red735i at earthlink.net (Frank Filippone)]

I think the problem with this logic is which 50% need the filter?  And do 
you decide before shooting, or find out later, after the
shot is taken ( and fails).

I said this a while ago.... you always need the filter, just to be sure.

Note.. this is not a jab at Henning nor Gene, but rather a recommendation 
that the issue is the way the sensor handles certain IR
wavelengths.  You can not be sure you are getting in trouble until it 
happens.... and then it is too late.  Use the filters always,
and not have a problem....

BTW, does anyone know of a problem in using the filter?  Is there a 
circumstance in which the filter should NOT be used?  ( Other
than trying to take IR shots).

I'm wondering if I should just

In my estimation when shooting colour, for 50% of the shots, and 
that's including a lot of outdoors stuff, the filters are needed.
