Tina, looks like you did miss focus with the M8 shot to me - with the Canon 
shot, almost all the foreground is fairly sharp, including the face - but 
the flag isn't. With the M8 shot, the flag looks like the only thing that is 
pretty sharp - the face certainly isn't.

People who are interested in the M8:

I'm still doing comparisons. Yesterday photographing a Hanukkah 
celebration, I used both the 5D and the M8.  The 5D had the 85/1.2 
lens, I set it at 800 ISO and used automatic focus.  The M8 had the 
75/1.4, I set it at 160 ISO and minus 2 exposure and manual 
focus.  They were both converted in SilkyPix using automatic white 
balance and exposure compensation.  What is going on with the candle 
flames in the Leica photo?  Is it just a difference in depth of 
field?  Did I miss the focus slightly?

I would love to get to the point where I could carry just the M8 but 
I'm definitely not there yet!
