Susan:

I have only 2 lenses coded and have the 2 free filters.  Before I got 
the lenses coded and received the free filters, I photographed my wife 
on Christmas Day wearing a green sweater. It came out bluish.  I tried 
both flash and available light. Still bluish.  Later I tried the same 
shot using my Canon 40D DSLR. Came out bluish.  When I got the filters 
and coded lens, I photographed her again with the M8. The same bluish.  
This is the only time I have seen any strange effects using the M8.  I 
conclude it is her sweater materials and it has nothing to do with the 
camera, lens coding, and using UV/IR filters -- or not.

Get the M8. Shoot with it. You will love it. Stop worrying!  Enjoy life!
