The M8 does have a very nice colour rendering. 

 

This was taken with M8 + Summicron-C 40/2.

Hi Plain Vanila

Fab!

How did u correct the Black. Can it be done in Camera Raw rather than going into Photoshop?

Do a color select and desaturate.

 

Greens also are off color with too much yellow.    No so easily corrected.  Buy the filter

I simply use the pencil selection tool then desaturate. For dark blue suits, I then add a blue color.

 

For greens, I select the green color and make it a little bit more blue.

I am going to have to try making greens more blue.  Can make it a preset?

Easy to make a preset....  http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2015/06/lightroom-cc-creating-and-saving-presets-in-the-develop-module.html

 

Of course, deciding how to adjust various parameters is up to personal taste and preference, and may not work for every image. Pre-sets can be stored and used as needed, including multiple pre-sets for varying conditions.

 

Another option (not mutually exclusive) is to develop separate camera profiles to store in the develop module, and set one as a default option. There are many discussions regarding methodology, e.g., using ColorChecker Passport, etc.
