[Leica] IMG: M8 BW conversion

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Geoff,
Wondering why you leave the UV/IR filter on. I've only been using it indoors 
with people (clothing) photography (when I remember to put it on...)
My understanding is that the M8 provides better gradations of gray because 
it doesn't have an IR filter on the sensor. Thus I'm thinking that for BW 
not using the filter makes for more information. This just from my readings; 
it may be just theory...
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Bob

Still playing with BW conversion from M8 DNGs. This is from walking the dog
here recently. We've been having Graham clouds here several times a week for
six months or so. Bless you La Nina.



UV/IR only. PSCS3 conversion simulating deep red and blues tweaked further.
Even put some grain back for nostalgia.
