Yes. It was a program in the living room of an old Philadelphia mansion. I metered the light beforehand, and found I could use 1/60th at f/1.7 with P3200 in my PZ-1p. Then, the organizer decided to turn the lights down for a better mood...
The next time, I brought along a subtle (but very effective) 75W flood on a stand, which allowed me to use my FA 24-90 instead of the 50/1.7 wide open. I should post some of those shots as PESOs someday...but the scanning is a pain! These are very nice indeed, regardless of the circumstances!
