Re: IR color problems with M8?

Hi Mark,
I am looking through a bunch of images shot with the M8 and non-ASPH 50mm Summilux last night at a local bar, and the colors are certainly all over the place. Some are OK, others have the symptoms you describe. The light was mixed, just about the worst one can imagine, and quite dim too--a typical exposure was 1/15 or 1/30 sec., f1.4 at ISO 1250. The lens was filterless, as I am still waiting for my UV/IR cut filters.
How do I deal with it? Once I have the filters, I will of course use them. Otherwise, I do the same as with my Oly E3 images under similar conditions: convert to B&W :-)
