Gig Help

[Pricer]

Hello there,

Im covering a friends gig on sunday and i was thinking about taking my Bronica Etrs along and trying some shots without any flash and on film.

What kind of set am i after on my camera for low light? ( sorry for the newbie question, its my first time doing low light on film)

cheers

Fast lenses and fast or pushed film.
What's the lighting like, take a meter reading, you need to know what the conditions are before the event, it'll help choose the best method.

why it has to be on film? why not use digital for easy editing and cheaper also.

Iso 3200 is what you will be needing for most gig situations. Last gig I shot, although digital, I was shooting 1/50th at f2.8 iso 3200. Fast glass is key

You're not going to get much traction in the "Film & Conventional" subforum with that train of thought.

Everybody knows about digital, it's nothing new. People who are shooting film do so because they want to.

his ASA ISO etc push process
manual settings as metering will let you down in strobe lighting
can you get a light meter as mentioned above?
