[Leica] IR Cut Filters and Comparo

[cummer at netvigator.com (Howard Cummer)]

Hi Jerry,
I think the M8 is the only digital with IR super sensitivity - but  
reading the net I understand the RD 1 and some of the Nikon digital  
SLRs showed some IR sensitivity as well. Nobody was looking for the  
condition until the M8 came along.
Cheers
Howard
