Happy that you are happy 
But no surprise And congratulations on your new camera. You'll find that whatever you throw at it, the results will always exceed your expectations. One small caveat, You are oversharpening your shots imo. The M8 needs only very subtle sharpening.

Thanks

As for oversharpening, these files were processed to print. I shot RAW, and in C1 I turned off NR to its lowest setting, turned off the banding NR, and set sharpening to "soft" with a setting of 25 and 3. I did nothing to the JPEG in PS at all, so there has been barely ANY sharpening done to these RAW files. I guess I could turn it off all together, disable it, but for printing they need to be a bit sharper than normal, so that is why the crops look a bit sharper than they should.
Anyway, thanks!

Wasn't meant negatively I remember my first M8 steps - I tried to do a "Canon" type of postprocessing on them . I have set the autosharpening in C1LE to zero now, as I have done with noise reduction, and prefer to use a light touch of Focal Blade and sometimes Neat Image.

I entered the elevator on my way down to just look around a bit at lunch with my M8 prominently positioned in my right hand. A young man asked, "Is that an old camera?"
I replied, "No just an old photographer" and was happy that I appeared as an amateur with an antique camera incapable of being taken seriously by any possible subject.

Those look great. I hate all of you M8 photogs who are proving that it is a great camera...I wish i could just think it is crap because I really cannot afford one right now. Steve I really like the color that you get on both film and in your M8 shots.

I went through airport security with my M8 this week and was pulled aside. TSA pulled it out and examined it head to toe..They wanted to know if it was an old fashioned camera. The guy had never seen one that old. He looked through the rangefinder to see what he could see on the theory, I suppose taught to him, that a camera (SLR) has a viewfinder that sees through the lens thus is real. But it really was an old antique. Pretty cool, he said.
