They have a consistent look to my final edit when I am using Ms as well. I would like to have Leica R lenses that worked with Canon's AF system on Canon's bodies but in the meantime the R8 is the best for me. I have been using a couple of R8s in a super hot and humid location (swimming centre where I am photographing the Chinese Olympic diving team): I was sweating so much I saw sweat droplets on the focussing screen that had seeped through the eyepiece. They kept working throughout so that is reassuring after my earlier bad experiences with these cameras.
