It is true that I was able to sit close. Most of what I shot was f/4 at 1/30 or 1/60. Getting a good light meter reading was more interesting as the backdrop was black and the kids were all wearing white shirts and the Kleig lights were quite brite. I just lowered my sites as it were and took a reading on what I thought would be ~ 18%. Negatives came out very nice. Now if I could have such luck with Hockey games - will be trying again this New years Day - my son and I are off for the Sabres vs (? And I don't care). Cold in syracuse Ernie nitka
