Nathan,

I just got the M-grip.  Since I had used an SLR for so many years, I was used
to cradling the camera in my left hand with my fingers around the lens.  With
the M6, this technique (habit) puts my thumb right on the viewfinder window,
making it filthly after a very short time.  Not a good thing!  The M-grip
forces me to handle the camera in my right hand.  So for me, its a great
improvement and increases the comfort of the camera.  In doing street
photography with the M-grip, I have the lens focus set at the right hyper-
focal distance and a the aperature preset (with the relatively wide latitude
of tri-x), I do every thing one-handed, point-and-shoot style.  Great fun and
extremely fast!  Not a millisecond of delay once my brain says "SHOOT."  You
won't regret the grip!!

Cheers,

Arturo
