The review is indeed a good one. It echoes my own experience with the 
M8 in Wetzlar - the most intuitive digital camera I've ever handled. 
My own shots using the M8/50(66.5)/1 Nocti combo are at:

and follow the Wetzlar link.

He makes an interesting point about M8 economics. As you're only 
using electrons rather  than film, you could indeed recoup the cost 
premium over the M7 quite quickly. But I think I'll stick to my film 
Ms pro tem as they're long paid for and still need the exercise.
