Report to all interested: The 800 seemed to do well at the performance, but the results show Kevin and the others who suggested 1600 speed film were right - very dark images and I've been re-reading my Photoshop books and corresponding on the Photoshop list to try to get them looking presentable.
Ballet it turns out is low-light, not bright-light and spotlight, so 1600 is the way to go. Maris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maris V.
