I have a question - is there any way to jpg files from Leica M8 (v 2.024) reminded jpg Leica M9? Will exposure to -2/3, color: medium (example?)?
Please help. I love the colors jpg with the M9. What can I set in my M8? Has anyone tried, maybe some settings will resemble the saturation of the M9?

Photograph a color checker with both cameras.    Adjust exposure in ACR or LR so grey is the same exact density. Best if they are close as possible in camera.    open both in photoshop or even better continue in ACR or LR,  measure the RGB squares for density, color, saturation in that order and adjust M8 to match  RGB are the squares above white -middle grey

 

Should work in Lightroom also.  Save the corrections as a M8 preset and have LR always open M8 with that preset.

 

Simple way, no.

 

You will need to use uv/ir filter on the M8 otherwise you can not get certain colors right no matter what. greens & yellows.
