  there are 400 films,and if you shoot it at a pushed 800 with extended time in the developer,or any good lab should be able to help.

  I much prefer to use Fuji or Kodak 800 color print films and let a good lab make B&W for me.

  I often shoot Fuji 800 at pushed 1600 iso (asa), with a spot meter on my Nikon F5 on the performers face, at 1/30th speeds, f 2.8 or f4.Some times the lighting gives you a 1/125th at f 5.6 when they use white lights instead of colored stage effects but I will add I'm a press photog and can shoot from the stage or below not back in the seating area.Keep in mind many venues will check cameras at the door. Good Luck ! Remember to share with us the good ones!!!!

    I most often shoot PanF+ or sometimes even Techpan when I'm doing B&W. (I use the Technitol developer, rather a lab uses it for me, I don't have the energy to set up a darkroom, and presently lack the space as well.)

    It all depends on what you want. I like doing landscapes :) so I shoot mostly low speed in PanF+. You can do a lot with such a 6x7 neg.

      TMZ or fast Ilford then, depending on who you prefer to believe. You can also do Tri-X but I've had good luck now with TMZ since people finally learned how to develop it right.

    I won't be able to develop on my own yet. I have done some in the past for the Navy but don't have access to a darkroom right now.
    As far as having my camera checked, it shouldn't be an issue since I know half the group playing.
    I have taken notes from your msg! Thanks for the tips!

    • A futher tip...when shooting a concert - Joe M 08:51:56 03/13/03 (5)

      Don't get that ever present mic in the mouth shot, it's disturbing.Instead wait until, just as they back away to take a breath.

      We also shoot it like a sporting event, at the peak of action.inorder not to get a lot of blury pics.Image a jump shot where in the player goes up to shoot, there is a brief second of time before he moves again.Thats the time to fire off your camera.Try to anticipate these peak moments.

      Also arm yourself with a wide angle lens and a short tele.Get the entire group and zoom in for individual close ups.

      See my Rule of thirds below of Celine Dion in concert.

        example of shooting at peak action, although I like the gentle blur of guitarist hand,shows movement.No mic in mouth here.

        Also, it's done in a triangle composition.

          Leo Kottke, wonderful 12 string player.

          Remember to focus on your subjects eyes,and let everthing fall off after.At those shallow depth of field f stops....2.8 - f 4.

        Thanks again. I am hoping there won't be any mic's since it is jazz and a small venue. I know the tenor saxophone player and he usually doesn't need a mic.

  I used to use TriX 400ASA, but that was 30 years ago I don't know what you can get these days. But just make sure it's a fast film for the low light.
