Hi George,
As I recall, I almost always used a polarizing filter outside. That may
have had some impact on my landscapes not being "magentized".
But I completely agree; with the filter, no problem; gorgeous files always.
The site I referred to has well made filters (worthy of Leica glass) for
this issue.
Best,
Bob
