HA! Try it with Tri-x at ASA 800- double timed in Ethol UFG- shooting with a
Leica M3 and a barrowed f/3.5 135mm Hektor lense- with only stage
lighting. I would have loved to have had TMAX P3200 back in '74.
Anyway I can agree with the rest and add only that you should go see the play
at least once or ,better still, become part of the crew or voluniteers.
This is the best way to anticipate action sequences and still moments( for
those really slow speeds). Rehearsals are a lot more fun and informative
than most people think.
yours grain does add some nostaliga to those "period pieces"
