Hi Aaron
Funny you should say that. I started shooting in clubs with Kodak NC 400,
pushed to 800, and when I sent the film to the lab I got
charged double to develop the film. But since I've been using Fuji Press, even
when pushed - or underexposed one stop - I only pay
the flat fee for
I've never been very disciplined in metering properly for my shoots. Because of
some previous disasters, I finally invested in a digital
spot meter - also my Leica doesn't have through the lens metering. I just found
that Fuji Press 800 even when badly metered and
pushed still gave me better
Hi Aaron
Somewhere in the back of my mind I recall someone telling me that Superia was
the same as anothe Fuji pro film. I've used the 800
Fuji Press for several years at concerts and have always been happy with it,
mostly because I convert it into bw in PhotoShop. Most

Hi
Just to get my two cents in.
I shoot both digital and film, digital camera since May of 2005, digital film
scanning since the advent of the 1st Minolta Dimage Scan.
Digital saved my interest in photography. It allowed me to share my images with
friends and with those whom I admire.
Hi
I have 4 cameras, a Leica, an LX, a Z1p and my new *istDS. I shoot a lot of
club activity and for that I use the Leica with Ilford 3200

roll of each during a set.
Most recently I have been experimenting with
Hi Tim
I use the Leica for bw using Ilford 3200 ISO film. I've used this film from
800 ISO to almost 12800 ISO depending on the lighting.

to distinguish the artist from the background.

Hi Markus
I had some problems with musicians wearing black standing in front of deep red

I have one question about the filters used. It would seem that the Hoya R72 has

same results?

I Guess I try to get the musician as he' s playing, again trying to guess when
