All glass does filter UV below about 360nm; you need special quartz optics. I don't know the sensitivity of most sensors to UV, but unlike film, which is naturally sensitive to UV, sensors tend to be sensitive more to the IR region of things. So, maybe? :) On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 3:23 PM, leo wesson <leowesson at gmail.com> wrote: > I had lunch today with a photographer from one of the local museums (tried > my m8 on one of those leica copy stand machines) and he asked me if you > could do UV photography ?with the 8. ?Can you? > ?Or does the chip filter filter it all out? > > Leo Wesson > Photographer/Videographer > 817.733.9157 > www.leowesson.com > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >
