Mark.. a 21 lens at F1.4 would have much the same DOF as a 24 at F2.8 ( I do 
not have the DOF tables handy, but it sounds about right....)

The problem with the M8 is that to get a 24mm Angle of view on a 35 full 
frame, a 21 lens must be used with the M8... so you never get more DOF 
isolation than you would with film on a M6 and a 24mm lens.

The M9 had better be full frame....
