I'm going to quit worrying about the color issues with the M8 and use it like a film camera loaded with B&W film. I just went back through several days of M8 photos and viewed them in Breezebrowser on the View as B&W setting and it was such a relief not to wince at the "off" colors. I used to carry the M6's and 7's with B&W film and the R's with color film so I guess for now it will be M8 for B&W digital and Canon for color digital ;-) Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com
