I decided to try shooting b&w jpegs with the M8. It's a little disconcerting to switch over to black and white, it seems like a real commitment! Anyway, I took a beverage, the dog, and the 21 skopar for a brief walk down by the barn this evening and tried a few shots.
My first impression after playing with the files for a few minutes is basically, I much prefer shooting RAW and making the conversion. Working with jpegs is pretty limiting. I took for granted all the options for correction and enhancement that RAW provides. You can push the jpegs a little, but not much.
The other conclusion I've come to is that I really like the 21mm focal length. But now I kind of wish the skopar was a summicron.
Here are a few examples of the jpegs from the camera (as the beverage had at least half of my attention, they aren't exactly fine art).
Please feel free to comment and/or post some of your examples. Black and white rocks.
