LUGnuts:

There are now numerous famous color shooters currently working that use
Ms.   These include David Alan Harvey, Alex Webb, Harry Gruyeart, and
Maggie Steber.  All are "street shooters" in the most honored sense of
the term.

In my humble experience, the Ms are for working with the flow of things,
SLRs for more formal composition.  This is true whether in color or
Black and White.  The difference between writing with a pencil and paper
and writing on a typewriter.
