[Leica] M8 goes to the hockey game - first light is fun!

cool images.
Lightroom does not have the proper profiles (yet) for the M8.
ACR does apply a very good profile and the images are better.
Right now M8 DNGs in lightroom are very saturated and ruddy.
The final version of LR is supposed to come with same profiles as ACR.
