Yep, that's what I do with my M6 and Portra 400 BW loaded, all the time. 
What was exactly the question?

What's the problem with throwing away after shooting? And please, don't 
come with this "instant review on the screen" argument - with those 
small screens you just can see that you actually _did_ take a picture, 
and what might be on it, but that's mostly all. Ok, Histograms are nice 
to see blown out highlights, but the better solution is to just don't 
get them.

Yeah, and three and four and more ... and some more memory cards ... and 
some more this and that. It's as much a never ending story as is with 
analog cameras. Only that most of it is more expensive.

> The batteries in my d100 last for WEEKS and that's using the built in flash

Hey, you should use it more, if the batteries really last for weeks ;-)

My Olympus E-100RS burnt 2-3 batterie sets a day during my last 
holidays. http://hugo.f-2.org/index.cgi?ids=ai/655973 if you want to 
take a look. It _is_ fun to shoot digital. It is fun to shoot analog, 
too. I still can't give one the preference above the other, both are 
just plain fun. So I do both ...

To get it back on-Leica-topic: 
http://leicaesk.de/index.cgi?ids=ai/352757 those were shot with the M6.

bye, Georg
