Acer, f/1.8 is too fast and will lead to sky fog. Use the 50mm but
close it down to f/4 instead. 30 seconds is about right. See:

tempting to stay indoors. I don't have a cable release yet, but it's on
the way. So, for 400 speed print film, what speed/aperture values do
you advise? What about lenses (I'll experiment anyway). I have 28/3.5,
three 50s (1.4MC 1.8MC 3.5MC macro) and the 200/4. I'm thinking of
starting with the
1.8. 30seconds sound OK for wide-open 50/1.8?
Thanks to all.
