Im not surprised Daniels would say that, Leica actually published such a statement sometime around the M8 crisis, then one day it was gone. I had an enormous argument with Joe W based on that statement from Leica, and I lost b/se that analogy is erroneous. I couldnt find \'that\' argument (they probably blew it away) but I did fall over the following
\"The comments on the M8\'s IR performance at Luminous Landscape
(http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/m8-infrared.shtml) say that Leica was forced to use a very thin (and presumably less efficient) IR blocking filter because they were worried about a thicker filter introducing color fringing when working with wide angle lenses. The result is the IR leakage that people are complaining about.\"
and then from Joseph Wisniewski
\"That is pure BS. The filter may have been weaker (as in some of my other posts) to get around an angle affect peculiar to rangefinders, but it isn\'t any thinner. Modern IR filters are thin films, so much thinner than the glass they\'re put on that the strongest filter won\'t make the filter any thicker. \"
which is i believe, the same thing
I fell over these posts on the way to finding the above
