But Mitch I can agree with you about size and noise, and really is much easier to take candid pics with a Leica, but this is not due to his "slow" feature as my Nikon FM2 is slightly bigger and much noisier than my M6 but lenses are 35mm f1:1.4, 50mm f1:1.2 and 85mm f1:1.4 (and seldom flash) so that I cannot follow your argument...
