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)
