...and I'm taking a minimalist point of view: no flash, no tripod. Perhaps 
I'm tired of lugging extra stuff around. I'm not even using my 90mm lens 
much, having discovered how much cropping of a 35mm M9 image one can get 
away with.

However, I made lots of use at one time, indoors, of bounce flash.
