The only effect, apart from FOV I've seen, is that some lenses that
performed nicely on film seem to not be so good on the M8.    My  C/V 28 1.9
worked nicely on my M7, but  seemed to back-focus slightly.   Other lenses
made much nicer pictures.

My 15mm CV is a spectacular performer on both film and digits.
