Gerry, see if you can rent one for a week.   The trick is if it will
reliably put out-1 to -2 stops from ambient to just fill the shadows.   If
it will with you standard shooting then a flash becomes magic.
 Personally, I've never been able to reliably get the Leica system to do
that for me like I could with the Japanese systems with Nikon being just
magic in its ability to just bring up shadows like eye sockets.   With all
that, it's been 15 years since I've tried and things do change.
