I think the two go can go pretty well together.. (as someone who both shoots
architecture and also lives with an architect).

I believe Stravinsky said "architecture is music frozen in time" - well,
some of that music sure is dance music... and some architecture is defiantly
dance.

and Leica + EOS... well - I happen to use Nikon, but it's whatever gets to
job done... Leica M for close-up and personal, street, vacation (among
others), Nikon for the real cold, (AF lenses and titanium shutters don't
seem to suffer from -40c); amazing fill flash and occasional telephoto.
Olympus when I'm canoeing and don't mind if I where to drop my old OM1 in
the river (Oh - and it's nice and light on portages...); Super Graphic for
4x5 street photography; Deardorff for 8x10 ditto; Arca Swiss and sometimes
LeicaM for architecture...... etc.

The cameras are only tools, and they are only cameras - sometimes the Nikon
does a better job than the M6, other times vice versa. It's the picture that
counts.
