illustrating M8 noise and WB under artificial light.
I appreciate the visual evidence. Since I seldom need
to shoot above 640 in available light, the 640 shot
seems to me to be convincingly good. Manual WB is
quite effective and allays my concerns about poor M8
WB under artificial light. Len Taupier pointed out to
me that IR hot mirror filters have a filter factor of
1 and,therefore, do not cause a loss of light.
This makes the case for buying an M8, for use even
under artificial light conditions, all the more
persuasive. (Len Taupier's nature shots demonstrate
the M8's brilliance in available day light.) Leica's
M8 delivery scheduling, in what must be an act of
selfless wisdom, is apparently going to give me a lot
of time to think about it and make a decision.
With my thanks to all the helpful responders,
Tom P.
