Okay - so here is;
George's barn board
M8 digital zone test:
Camera set on jpeg basic
Tripod mounted (but not particularly careful about movement - no  
cable release)
files are directly out of the camera
NO post processing whatsoever (except for in camera)

-1/3 exposure compensation (sorry - didn't check it before I did this)
ASA 640 - obviously - results would vary a bit at different ASA's
manual metering dead on
zone V exposure: 1/250 sec @ f: 4.5
