thanks for the kind words.  

with regard to curves, back when scanned my B&Ws, i usually
did 16 bit scans and then use the "curves" function to
get them into an 8 bit form.  i am assuming i can do something
quite similar if i use RAW format.

as shown, the M8 shots were done in JPG B/W mode--it's new at
the camera--so it was a case of WYSIWYG.

i'd like to move into RAW and so forth, but i am deathly fearful
of getting sucked into monitor calibration and profiles and all
that complication and proprietary software and frustration.
