I do so agree.  To hold an M6, press the shutter release, use the winder
etc. etc. means you just have to have one.  First thing I do when I wake up
on Saturday morning is get the M6, check it has film and get ready for some
shooting.  Then, I kiss my wife!

The F5 is great for no brainer photography (although in manual mode brains
are useful) and for photography where your brain just couldn't transmit
message to other parts of the anatomy quick enough in order to get the shot.
