Re: OT: Fast B&W Film

[Robert Gonzalez]

Take the brightest lens you have.  I've done this type of thing and 1.4 
is almost a must.  If you have the 50mm 1.2, then thats a good one for 
this type of thing.  Otherwise you get alot of blur.  And 1600 film is 
good, a little grainy but good.

I really don't know what the lighting will be like, except it will not 
be particularly bright.  I'm thinking I'll need either 1600 or 3200.  B 
& W, of course.

So, I'm thinking a 1600 film, that's pushable to 3200 with no problems, 
so I can take one film and use it at whatever speed the lighting dictates.

Any suggestions?  I'm thinking Fuji Neopan 1600 or T Max 1600.  Any 
thoughts on either or those?  Other suggestions?

thanks,
frank
