I think that would be a little difficult, if not impossible, for the most M users to accomplish...in a reasonable amount of time. Second, where the hell do you find a table when you are in a moving crowd of people, or while walking with a parade, or running to get in to position for your next shot? Photographers have given up the Leica Ms for the same reason the army gave up muzzle loading rifles. The M has it's place in photography, but shooting where fast re-loading is required is not it.
