Always. I read, probably in Erwin's reports, that only a very fine grain film like TechPan and a tripod will let you exploit the Leica lenses to their fullest. I use one religiously when I'm in the field doing anything that is going to be substantially enlarged and always when I'm shooting Technical Pan. Heck, I even use it with the Agfa 100 film. I find it makes me think more. I also use a cable release. I do this with both the M6's and the R8 and I've been very pleased with my results.
