Some people used it as a street camera with B&W but it was much more than 
that, 
and I would be -very- surprised if it was the first job by any means.

John the M's first job is a street camera. A photo journalism camera. And
that work had been done with tri x or Neopan 1600 in black and white.
If for some reason the M6 could not have gone over iso 200 it would have
been dead in the water before it ever got off the ground.
Now digitally the anti has been upped a bit from that.
