When shooting scenes like this it is difficult to judge whether there  
is vignetting (or colour shifts). Which amply illustrates why  
vignetting is in fact a not an issue. The M8 shows a similar or lower  
vignetting than you get in the same situation with a narrow latitude  
reversal film. Yes it is something you have to deal with but no more  
so than before.
