[LRflex] Re: M8 Upgrading available

Hi Dave,

Re my earlier question B+W do seem to offer such a filter - "zero loss" b=
ut
the list prices are quite high! They work by a method akin to multi-coati=
ng
to reject / cut UV and IR. 
Other filters seem to exist but do seem to have loss.

Best regards
Keith
