I know several wire and newspaper photographers who have an M camera of some type, most M6's, who carry one in their bag or have it handy when required for leica type moments. Where stealth and quiet are essential to the success of the assignment. They may use SLR auto everything cameras 95% percent of the time, but they are astute enough to know the Leica M6 is a very essential tool in the success of some assignments. However, they don't go around flaunting that they carry one, they just use it quietly and go about their business. Ted Grant This is Our Work.
