If you're going to use slow film, fast shutter speeds, and a tripod for the best possible resolution, why are you using Leica M's? That to me defeats the whole purpose of the fast lenses and quiet, unobtrusive camera that is perfect for hand-held shots in low light!! Slow films and tripods are for medium and large format film.
