Subject: [Leica] A non-scientific comparison of the E3 and M8u

Both set are shot on RAW, processed in LR2.6 using everything default.
The M8 uses the "Camera Standard" calibration as it gives more
accurate color than "Adobe Standard."

Both cameras use two of the best lens available, with the E-3
handicapped by it being a zoom lens. Most E-3 shots are done half a
stop over the widest aperture.

All M8u shots are 1 1/3 stop over the widest aperture.

Leica UV/IR filter is used on the M8u.

There are obvious saturation difference in how the lens / sensors / LR
render the images. I use LR to export the JPG with 1200 pixel
dimensions, so while not full size, it should give a good idea.

Do not peek at the EXIF, see if you can see which ones are which, or
which ones you like better.
