[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]In about 2 weeks I will have the good fortune to attend a bloodless bullfight in my area of S.Cal. I will probably be more interested in the people shots than the Matador! The Portugese get very dressed up for these events. The stands will be very rich for shooting.... I will shoot for people shots in the stands, not the bull fighter. Time: 5:30 PM to about 9 PM, lighting will be random artificial light.... Mercury Vapor most likely. I would like to shoot color Chromes, but maybe............ B+W? or Color Neg? Choice of Camera: Leica M, Nikon AF Lenses: M= 35 + 50 'Cron, 75 'Lux Nikon= 135 F2 AF, 55 1.2, 85 1.4 MF Any tips from the LUG? Do I need the 35 or 50? I have not shot the 75 too much, and I am worried about focus accuracy....low light and all would favor the RF over the SLR.... What can I do about shooting in the mixed bag of light? Color Negative films? Which Neg films? ASA ? Which Camera brand would YOU use?.....there are pros and cons to each kit....
