What are the other kind of films that are you using for theater photography ? One of the reason I'm considering the Arca-Swiss B1 is because I'm planning to photograph a musical in April 1999 and all the preparation before. During one of the performance I intend, because it will be in a big theater, to use a big Tele, like the 280, 400 or 560mm from the back of the room. BTW, is there a blimp suitable for the R8 or similar camera? Lucien
