Here are some shots taken (almost) at the same time with the M8, M9, M240 
and M Monochrom. Base ISO, similar angle of view and minimal processing 
except for MM, which almost always needs some curve adjustment:

With the M8:

and the next three are with the other cameras and labelled as such. They are 
posted full size and compressed jpegs at 75%

The next 5 are in _very_ low light; I could see much except a faint glow in 
the sky for the last three, and the town lights. Exposure was about 1/6 sec 
at ISO 5000 and f/1.

The first picture is with the M240, converted to B&W:

 The next is with the MM, and the next three are M240 converted, MM and then 
MM at ISO 10000. These last three have been boosted 0.5 EV in Lightroom to 
bring out a bit more detail in the shadows, but at ISO 10000 there isn't 
much to be boosted. Thes are also best viewed full size and are also 
compressed 75%.

The last three, starting with: 
http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/hwulff/Stuff/Compare/M8_001.jpg.html  are 
all with the M8. The first in colour with the UV/IR blocking filter, and the 
latter two with IR pass filters, the first with the Leica IR filter and then 
the very dark B+W 093. The latter filter requires about 1 stop more exposure 
than the Leica IR filter. Exposure for the latter was about 1/20 sec at f/8 
at ISO 640. These are not posted full size.
