I have used filters with the Monochrom some; mostly I've been under cloudy skies or urban street scenes so I have not felt the need to use many. Once the sun comes out I'll most likely have a light yellow on all the time, and use the darker colors as necessary. I do agree with Marty that so far, filters don't seem to be quite as necessary, compared to film, due to the amazing range of the Mono image in post processing. Don't own a color capable camera anymore so can't help with your second question. :-) Jay On 4/26/2013 6:17 PM, Adam Bridge wrote: > I'm curious of those of you with the M monochrom have been using > traditional filters as you would with black and white. > > What has your experience been?
