Service was great. The order was paid for by credit card on March 20 and the filters were delivered to me by the postman the morning of March 23! Here are two photos of my dear wife Esther taken with the M8 and the Nokton SC - wide open at f1.4 under a single tungsten light - one with the filter and one without. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/HongKong/ EstherNoUVIR.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/28ymv4 http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/HongKong/ EstherUVIR.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/2gd23w The lesson here is if you get purple highlights in hair under tungsten light, the 8025 will eliminate them. I don't think I will ever take the filters off either lens. It just keeps things simple. In the meantime I am still waiting for my free IR filters from Leica and to get back my Leica wides back from coding. Cheers, Howard (in Hong Kong)
