I know of some fairly serious landscape photographers that still use
graduated neutral density filters with their state of the art digital
cameras and I scratch my head. Seems to me that if you have time to
mess with adjusting such a filter you might as well take two
exposures without it and merge them much more accurately later.
I thought it was IR filtering that was too weak on the Leica M8.
There was a similar problem with the Nikon D2H, though not as bad. A
"hot mirror" filter became the correction of choice.
