Hi Michael, Capturing a bit of the ambient light will add to the mood of your pictures. I also prefer the FA 50/1.4 for these circumstances, and chose to shoot in manual mode, with lens open at 2.8 and at speeds of 1/15 - 1/30. The blur caused by the people movement is largely compensated by the flash freezing their position. You might also try select trailing curtain synchro on your 360FTZ flash. This will freeze the subject at the end of the blur trail, giving a very suggestive sense of dynamism. Servus, Alin
