My friend has a Leica M6, and one of his favorite things to do is to take
candid shots. The camera is small enough and if the lens is wide enough,
you can take a snapshot without looking through the viewfinder.. for those
waist level candid shots since the M6 is so quiet..
Well... I have tried that a few times, cranked the focus out to infinity,
mirror lockup, and now my OM1n is about as quiet as any other rangefinder...
I've taken a few candid shots like that, which have turned out great...
Mirror lockup is wonderful, I don't know why most cameras don't have it..

I never thought of the mirror lock up. That is a good idea. I would
not focus on infinity however. I would preset the speed and aperture
and choose a hyperfocal distance on the depth of field scale based on
the aperture.
