Which is to say - meter and bracket, as lighting is going to vary
dramatically depending upon the venue and the...lighting.

my experiance in dimly lit smaller venues is 1/4-1/15 @ f/1.0--2.8 with
neopan 1600@800. 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
