FWIW, I have had far more than my fair share of success taking snapshots from the window of a moving vehicle with my M6TTL. This continues to surprize me, since there have been many times when I was convinced that I must have missed what I was trying to capture. On the other hand, when I use an SLR under the same circumstances I fail to get what I want more often than not. This has convinved me that the short lag-time of the M shutter can be a very real benefit. (I realize, by the way, that shooting from a car window is not the ideal way to go about the business but in Indonesia it's not always practical or sensible to get out and find a good vantage point.)
