I, personally, am glad that Leica left off the anti-aliasing filter 
in front of the sensor that all other digital cameras have. You get 
better fine detail without it.  That's the reason they decided to 
leave it off.  I don't think I'm an apologist.  If I were somebody 
who photographed a lot of black polyester material, having to use the 
IR filters would be a minor nuisance, but since I don't miss the IR 
filters in 90% of what I shoot, I'll go for finer detail any day.
