"enjoy the show while the camera does all the work. "
For professional use, digital is all I've used for the past 5-6 years. It is so efficient. I don't need to enlarge beyond 8x10or need extreme quality, so I rarely shoot more than 2 megapixels, even tho the S1 will do 6.1. Although my S1 has full manual control, it's mostly in 'point-and-shoot' mode and I just fire off dozens of frames indiscriminately knowing at least a few will turn out good. The Leica (or any manual film camera) slows that process WAY down and forces one to think about the photo - exposure, composition, etc. - and resulting in better photography.
Ruf, a new M6 body is around $2000. Lenses are anywhere from $750 (standard 50mm) to $3000. Used camera prices are way down right now and there are some incredible deals on eBay.
