Incident meter the ring, set the aperture and don't mess with it. 2. Listen to the crowd. They'll tell you when to start shooting. 3. Shoot some of the crowd too 4. Some of the most dramatic shots are in between rounds of the fighters. 5. wide angle lenses are not as useful as longer focal length, unless you are right at their feet. 6. Can you get into the locker rooms before the fight? Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com Natchitoches, Louisiana Oldest continuous settlement in La Louisiane ?galit?, libert?, crawfish
