 Here Here!!
 I shoot half of my stuff with a Polaroid.
I bought the M6 to use in low light quiet scenes.
When I was in college I had no money and  most of it went to film and
paper. A camera is a just a light tight box with a hole in in one end.
 The talent it takes to make images doesn't come from the gear you use
it comes from practice.

My  .02 cents

 PS. a leica is a Very Nice light tight box BTW ;-)
