I want a black Leica MP now, that brassing looks awesome, it's like a well played vintage guitar...

you know, that little thingie every digital camera's sensor is usually equipped with in order to only capture visible light pictures. ok ALMOS only visible light.

Let's go through this again:

1. There were immense technical challenges in building the sensor for the M8. The short flange focal distance (distance from mount to film/sensor) of the M-mount works fine for film, but digital sensors interact differently with light, and short distances mean problems there. This isn't a problem with SLRs because the need to include a mirror box means the FFD is almost always sufficient.

One of the design choices the Leica/Kodak engineers made was to use a weaker IR filter to cut down on internal reflections. There's a thread on photo.net somewhere showing samples of what happens sometimes with the Epson digital rangefinder, because of its stronger IR Filter.

2. According to many people, the weaker IR filter gives them preferable results in black and white.

3. Putting the IR filter on is no different than having to put a color correction filter on when shooting film. No big deal.

Actually, lots of cameras have lesser but still sometimes noticable IR contamination. IIRC, the D70 was particuarly bad here.
