Meanderings with M8

Here's a few photos from wandering about this past week and weekend with my new M8. See all of Page 1 of the following link, photos L1000233 - L1000218.

 

Meanderings

 

All, I believe, taken with the 35mm 4th version Summicron, B+W 486 IR/UV cut filter. L1000044, 62 and 67 are in-camera JPGs, the rest done with Capture One 3.7.7 (the new one), with the "M8 with generic UV/IR" profile, which seems better than the "M8 IR486 filter" profile

 

I'm amazed at the M8's ability to capture detail, especially at ISO 160. See the pairs of full-frame shots and 1:1 crops with the word "Detail" in their file names, such as:

So far, so happy. And thanks to the many posters on this forum whose experiences let me experience some of the learning curve *before* I bought the camera.

The IR486 profile was an unfinished version that was left in the initial distribution by mistake, and has since been removed. Apparently they must have started working on an M8 profile under the impression that Leica filters would be 486 filters, and then started over when they got the final Leica filters to work with.
