I rarely use them.<<<<< Hi folks, I don't own any! Haven't had any disasters with my M8. had a couple of blacks shot in colour that looked strange... didn't make any difference just changed the frame into B&W! As far as any other strange colours, maybe it's just my plain old fashion good luck I haven't had any strange colour shifts with the M8. Maybe some of us got lucky and received M8 cameras without the need for filters??? Is that a possibility?? That's why I never bothered asking about the filters, it always seemed a no never mind problem. ted
