MF RF for concert photography

[Dunn]

Anyone done or doing this?

I've been thinking about it, but I don't have one. Maybe it's just me trying to convince my self to get one.

Let's see them

Tried it and didn't really like it. It probably wouldn't be worse than your 35mm shot but it wouldn't really be better either, coz most concert shots are grainy to begin with.

However, if it was outdoor, it's probably a good idea.

Probably looking for a good excuse, though the two images above are quite nice. I tried indoors with a Mamiya 6 and a Pentax 7...as Araakii notes, with such fast film needed, I didn't really find it any better than 35; and it was a whole lot more weight to gently nudge between bouncing elbows.
