Yesterday was a rare day for Seattle this November:  a day of gorgeous 
sunshine.  I had some errands to run downtown so I brought my new M8 with an 
IR blocking filter mounted and took some snaps of anything that looked 
attractively colorful.  The lens was the Leica 24mm 2.8 ASPH and the filter 
was a Tiffen standard hot mirror filter. The pictures are at:

I've looked through these and I don't notice any real perceptible cyan 
vignetting with this filter and lens.   I also did not notice any strong 
flare that could be attributed to the filter.

The M8 really is capable of extraordinary color rendition.  These sRGB 
versions don't quite do the pictures justice.

I've posted quite high resolution versions, so you can take a peak at the 
incredible resolution this camera offers.
