Ted, 

Thanks for the kind advice.  But I gotta tell you, I'm looking for and soon
will buy the Winder M for my M6.  I am looking forward to not having to take
my eye away from the viewfinder when I'm shooting.  Also, one-handed operation
for fast street photography.  And perhaps, a new technique (for street
photography) I've been considering; hang the M6 and winder around my neck
(bottom of the camera secured with a body strap to prevent flopping) with the
24mm lens attached and a long cable release threaded through my sleeve to my
hand.  With the exposure and focus pre-set, just fire away!!  How's that for
being unobtrusive??  Virtually invisible!!!

Cheers,
Arturo
