All this is quite true, but I am always amused by available light purity
- including my own ;-) - as I think of Eugene Smith who's position on
available light was that any light he provided was available. :-)

Chris, for some people, using flash with the M systems is anti-thesis to

the whole philosophy. You even have a better M than an M in this aspect
- 
with your R-D1, you can switch ISO on the fly, and the pictures quality 
even at ISO 1600 is quite decent, but you know that.

What I am getting at is that shoot w/ your R-D1 for a while. Use your
28/2 
and get as close as possible. You may never look at a flash again.

(except for fill flashing etc. but then the M or R-D1 in auto mode is 
really not built for that)
