Who cares about a tripod ?  I left for Poland without one, and it didn't 
stop me from taking pictures with 1/15s up to 6 seconds shutter time 
without worries.  Trees, poles and your wallet on benches, walls or the 
ground are your friends !

Hoping to get back my pictures today, otherwise next week, then check, 
scan, post them...  Don't hold your breath.  I shot 3 rolls (2 Provia 
100, 1 Portra 160VC) in less than one week, which is much above my 
average.  Wroclaw & the Klodzko valley are quite impressive, 
particularly in sunny weather with fall colours.

I didn't get your responses to the RF question before I left, but it's 
hard to find old&shabby photo shops there nowadays.  All MediaMarkt (for 
those across the pond: read: hi-tech shopping mall) style big 
box-movers.  I might take a shot at a cheap fixed lens RF camera once, 
but this trip has again shown how much I love my OM-4T + 28/2.8 + 50/1.4 
+ 90/2 setup.  I never cared for the 50mm format, and now I use it more 
than the 2 other lenses combined.  So there's plenty to learn for me by 
just using the equipment I have.  I might get an F11 just for the 
day-to-day photography, though, since the size of the OM system & the 
fact that it costs money to take pictures stop me from using it on lots 
of occasions.
