Hello all! Do any of you have advice on what kind of lenses/film/anything to use to shoot live music? I shoot around for fun with a Minolta Srt-101 - I forgot what lens I’m sorry! - but I’m just interested in any advice you find people have to offer.
I use Ilford Delta 3200 for live music indoors. You can push it even further in lab with the right developer but I have had great results at box speed too.
Do you develop your own stuff?
black and white yes, but I send away any E6/C41/ECN2 work.
I use cinestill 800t with the dx code modified to be 3200. I shoot with my Olympus mju ii because most venues won’t let you bring in a camera with interchangeable lenses, and I have the lab push it +2 stops. It works pretty well.
Thank you! I’ve never heard of cinestill. I really think I’m going to try it out.
you gotta check out glenjamn if you haven’t already.
What’s that?

I’ve gotten stunning results with Cinestill 800 and Delta 3200 at 1000, both with a flash. I find if you’re close to the stage 85mm is a good focal length. Autofocus helps a LOT. I’ve gotten such good shots with this setup bands have actually used my pictures in promo material.
