Yep. The M8 DNG is very sensitive to over-exposure because of the "magic" (or more accurately the cheating and trickery) Leica chose to impart to the 8-bit DNG compression. It rears it's ugliness most for me in too little latitude in the high-midtones/low-highlights generating excessive banding there with sometimes just moderate adjustments. Under-exposing by 1/3 stop helps a lot without unduly compromising shadow detail.
