[Leica] Consensus (? on LUG) on IR filters on M8

[phamard at numericable.fr (Philippe Amard)]

Vick,

Don't you get bothered about IR - use it for your advantage.
We've seen so many wonderful pictures here taken with that camera, and 
nobody complains about IR any longer apparently.

Here are a couple of joke shots about IR:

Hope you won't feel offended and can post M8 shot shortly.
Bien amicalement
