But in this case I guess you have guys on your left and right competing for space you cant get behind. I'd have used that APO-SUMMICRON-M 75mm f/2 ASPH you have. Or a 75. I got the APO-TELYT-M 135mm f/3.4 for head shots. Though these are head and shoulder shots. Some apartments have beautiful light at certain times of the day. I did a lot of bouncing a 1200 watt second Balcar strobe off the ceiling if the light was not so good or bright in someone's house I was shooting. Which gave me f11 at a fast shudder speed. And no fuses blown. - - from my iRabs.
