Hi Bill,
Well done! it's this kind of use as an available light lens that is forgotten
or not used by some photographers simply because the lens is pumped as a "macro
lens". Therefore users think primarily in the macro mode and not anything else.

Good example of where I bet many would never think of taking it backstage by
available existing light.
