UV/IR woes...

[Richard Marks]

Richard,

The problem is due to using an UV/IR filter.
The leica put the temporary solution on their problematic CCD.
Using an UV/IR filter solution was a fault from the beginning.

It is a skill to make a good results. (Yes)
It is a good digital camera that has an antialiasing filter with CCD. (Yes)
It is not a good solution to use UV/IR filter on lens that may cause problem.

Dear Sir
Your sample image shows some flare I accept but that does not mean it was the filter. A very considerable number of people posting here (if you believe them) appear to cope with this problem. It may be that we have lower standards than you but it is also possible that you might be being a little hard on the M8.
You have obviously finished with your M8 and doubtless some one else will get the pleasure of it.
