My advice would be to take the meter readings with the 90mm on since it will give you a smaller metering area and then try to isolate maybe a band members face and adjust exposure accordingly (+1-2stops) if caucasian. good luck.-daniel - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Ridings" <daniel.ridings@muspro.uio.no> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 4:54 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] Correct exposure for concert shooting > Hi, > > Maybe the lighting has changed since I did concerts, but 1/60 @ f4 was a > good starting point with asa 400 films ... they way I remember it.
