Infrared with Leica M10 Monochrom
As a monochrome sensor, the question surely arose at Leica of what kind of infrared-cutoff filter to use. A substantial amount of near infrared light passes into the sensor, presumably by design. The proof is shown on this page by images taken using the B+W 092 infrared filter, which has a sharp cutoff at ~690nm, which is right around the point where human vision rapidly fades in its ability to see these wavelengths.
