wow-ive clearly finally found a thread written and contributed to by people who actually own the m8. i own one and am thrilled, beyond expectations by this machine. i've only really seen the ir thing a few times cause i dont shoot much indoor mixed lighting stuff. with my other leicas i shot mostly bnw. regarding high iso...the first day i had the m8 i went out to the vegas strip and shot at 640 iso. i realized i had only shot one roll of film in 20 years that was over iso 400. 1 roll of 1600, hated it never did it again. I was an apx100 velvia50 guy mostly and thereabouts. when i hear complaining bout high noise high iso shots from folks who dont even have an m8 yet it makes me want to explode.i would never think of iso 640 in film, now i dont hesitate-looks fantastic, especially bnw. what happened to my dear diversion the leica forum? so much whinging. im lovin this machine.
