Hi Richard,
Actually it has much to do with the fact you see your picture on the
screen isolated without lens lines or the all seeing viewfinder of the M6.

I shoot my best colour with an  R, accept when I'm working the Noctilux
by non existing light. ;-)  And that's simply because I can isolate the
image in the R8 viewfinder and see how it will look when it's a slide.

I'm sure there are many photographers who experience this, simply
because you do see the subject in isolation of the surroundings.
