Yaar, I have my pics developed and scanned but I already moved the box with the cd in it to my new place! (fuckin' stoner me).. I'll get them up as soon as I find a good site to host them.. (any suggestions?)
From my experiences: 800 ISO worked a lot better than 400 for me. I pushed a roll of Ilford XP2 one stop, and those ended up a lil nicer than the roll that wasn't pushed at all. If you're doing 800, splurge and get FujiPress 800 or the Fuji NPZ (?) - much nicer grain and saturation than anything Kodak makes.
Fuji Neopan 1600 is a wicked film, as is Ilford Delta 3200 (yum).
I realized something upon seeing my pics though.. My lens isn't nearly fast enough for concert pics. A Leica with a max. aperture of 2.0 or 1.4 would have been ideal, and I saw from WrthChild's writeups that he shot mostly at 2.0.
One nice thing about digital over film is that it tends to hold shadow detail better (unless you want to shoot reversal..)
I hope I get to shoot Opeth again when they come back for the Damnation tour (if I didn't annoy them too much this time around).
The bigger your gear, the more people will get out of your way.. I'm considering shooting with my 4x5 camera next time - those tend to lack big apertures though.
BUT.. if anyone needs a good neg scan, I'm your man. I work in a photolab with a Fuji Frontier - I can do 16 base jpg scans and put 'em on a CD for $4.99. Trick is, you gotta come to REXDALE.. hahahahahaaa... suckers. you're gonna get shot.
Enough rambling, I could talk about photography for weeks on end.
