These are with the Metz flash but dragged the shutter enough to pick up the ambient in the back

Well, if one doesn't take the time to set up preferences and calibrations in LR using ACR, then "generic" is what you get.I am just not a big fan of ACR and Phase files and actually I am just not a big fan of ACR period. I ALWAYS seem to get a magenta or red cast on any camera i have tried with it. My line is someone at Adobe likes red and it shows. Not as detailed either Shelby good eye.
It sounds like a good idea, and worth a shot. The IR filter to get would be an IR blocking filter, like a B+W 486, not an IR absorbing filter. The blocking filters remove light of certain wavelengths, which is perfect for not disturbing the normal light. These filters also don't affect exposure (unless of course the meter sees a significant amount of IR light). The IR blocking filters are sensitive to the angle of the light, however, so super-wides will be problematic. Down to about 50mm should be okay, on MF. I guess you already know all this from your M8Heck, it maybe worth a try just to see if it works in situations like this. I'll order a 77mm for my Hassey lenses and try it. Anyone know which is the weakest IR to look for?
Amen to that, only for me it has been for Phase, Canon and Leica files. For posterity, it would be great if you cross-posted this comment in the C1 v LR thread in our processing forum...I'm just going to put it out there... no matter what I've done, calibration-wise, the rendering of color on Sony files (and even canon for me) in ACR/Lightroom just doesn't look "right" to me.
