I like my oysters like I like my images . . RAW." Tina, thanks for posting the oyster roast pictures. It seems that that the M8 has its own signature "look" in available light B&W. It's reminiscent of film, but the tonality is different (and in a way, better). ISO 320 looks a bit like BW400CN, and 640 looks like very well-processed Tri-X. The faces look alive. And there are specifics that are unlike anything I've seen before, including B&W conversions from other digital cameras. They look like "real" photographs, not like too-perfect digital smoothies. Were these shot with an IR filter or not? I especially love this one: http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/71529425 --Peter > >Raw, eh?
