My Petri does have a meter, but the ISO setting only goes up to 800, and honestly it was way to dark to deal with that anyway. I winged it, using the Ultimate Exposure Calculator.

I will! I'm guessing after all this, they will not be great. :^D

I have a pentax PZ-10 that's pretty slick to load and unload, but not quite that nice!
Fyi thanks for all the suggestions. I shot at 1600. Didn't get that many shots but hopefully a few keepers.

The way you slip it in, it's such a pain to get it to start taking up the film. It just seems like a really fidgety design.

Fair enough! :) I guess for me, I'm not going to fight it for a concert, but in day to day life I feel photographers rights are pretty well entrenched in public places.

I lucked out with the Petri, bought it for $30 Canadian. It's a nice camera, only gripe is that I find the film reel to be almost impossible to load, massively frustrating each time I need to change film.

I believe this to be a straw man argument, at least here in Canada. Concert venue == private property. Public place, I'd tell authority XYZ I'm in the right, and what was your badge number?

I'm going to use the Petri, it goes down to 1.8 @ 45mm focal length. I have about a 0% interest in getting close to the stage, it'll be mostly for getting some fun photos of the crowd, my friends, etc.
I'm thinking 1600 is a good compromise.

That's a great point, thanks! Like I mentioned above, I don't really care about getting stage shots, more looking to get some fun crowd/friends shots.

I only ever keep rodinal on hand, so probably deving in rodinal 1+50. I've been enjoying dark room printing lately, so I'm looking forward to making some enlargements from it.
High contrast is cool, should fit the night well. :)

Heh, yeah I don't feel that strongly about it today. It's pretty common around here. I'm guessing it's because people with big cameras made a nuisance of themselves one too many times.

Yikes. I would love to get a shot like this, from my Petri racer. :lol:

(Clearly if I had a Ricoh GR film camera, I'd be taking it over the Petri, but you've gotta use what you have!)

I'm going to a concert (David Byrne and Ani DiFranco) tonight, thought it'd be fun to take a K1000 and load some high speed film in it. All I have is Tri-X 400, I feel like this classic film is particularly fitting for the two artists. Concert is going to go into the night, trying to decide what EI to shoot the film at... 1600 or 3200. I've seen some surprisingly good results at 3200 online, and it's not a big deal if it doesn't work out.
Anyway, I think these Q's are fun - if it was you, what speed would you shoot the film at?
Edit: Apparently you can only bring "Personal cameras without removable lenses". Egh, darn it. Looks like plan B, my Petri Rangefinder is happening.
