I also have other cameras such as the Nikon D3. How do I switch back and forth, so Lightroom uses the appropriate settings for which camera I'm working with. Can Lightroom do this automatically, based on the EXIF data?
What changes might I see on my monitor display (laptop) or in images posted on the internet, based on what camera profile was used in Lightroom?
(Is this the information that goes with the "Camera Calibration" setting box that shows up in Lightroom2 at the bottom right in the "Develop" module?)

No you don't have to tel LR anything. It already knows the files you are looking at are Leica M8 DNG's, or Nikon Dxxx NEF's or whatever. That info is carried in the EXIF/Metadata of each image.
I don't have LR installed on the computer I'm sending this from but in the develope section you go to the camera profile section (not sure what it's called as I rarely use LR anymore). But once you find it it will have a drop down for the available profiles.
