Len - I shoot both color and B&W with the M8, and interchange all the  
time.  I would suggest for both color and B&W increase contrast,  
sharpening and underexpose by 1/3 stop.  Secondly, in color use the  
Medium High setting.  I find the web postings then come out about right.

This will not be for everyone, but I like a heavier image (I learned  
something from George Lottermoser about that).
