[Leica] IR photography with M8 and Elamarit-M 24/2.8

[george.imagist at icloud.com (George Lottermoser)]

H-m-m? the 093 B&W is the only one I've used with the M8. It always delivers 
a distinctive IR image. And I have to assume that as you allow in more and 
more on the bottom end? the less "IR effect"?

Bottom line: it works for me.
