I always carry a tripod on trips like that because the kind of photo work I enjoy can't be done without one. The M is perfect for that sort of work because it is so light and small compared to other systems. Fact is, I almost always have a full-sized tripod handy for either M or R and I use it whenever I can. Low light photos of people are sometimes easier with a full-sized tripod rather than a tabletop or hand-held. I'm pretty good at hand-holding but if I can use a tripod, I will. - --Gib
