Leica M8 plus Leitz IR Filter

David W. Griffin , Jan 31, 2010; 05:52 p.m.

The following pictures show what I got when I tried taking IR pictures with the M8 on a tripod with the Leitz IR filter. The lenses were the Voigtlander 25/4 non RFC and the Leica 35/2 ASPH. I'm reasonably satisfied with the results, but I'd like some comment -- both suggestions for getting more of an IR look, and anything else you'd like to offer. Thanks.

these look excellent to me. Here are some of mine with M8, Hoya R72, Tungsten WB (all JPGs), using a 35/1.4 pre asph lux, and a canon 28/2.8:

I like them, but the trick with this stuff is simplicity. WE don't quite get the drama here that we get with Kodak HIE. We don't get the halation effect either, and I like that effect. But HIE is tough to use too and discontinued. I still have some in the freezer and a light meter calibrated for it, but not sure when I'll use it now.
