I agree with you 100%.  Ones shooting style is different once one starts
using a flash, but you end up with a  lot more usable images.  I did one
series with my F5 where I think 95% of the images I used a flash, it was 70%
fill flash.

	Exactly.  And more often now I'm using ISO 400 than 100 so the
problem
	only gets worse.  I never thought of myself as much of a flash user
but
	it's funny how I end up using it in at least half my shots, or for
"real"
	jobs at least 75%.
