Did anyone else give this a shot? Remember, we are a rangefinder group, no flash allowed!!!
Here is what I did, TMZ 3200 shot at 3200. I took handheld readings at my parent's house before heading out. I found 1.7 at 1/4s or 1/8s was close under their front door light. I figured some houses would be lighter, and others darker, so I just set at 1/4s and had at it. I know that I will have some motion blur, but I wanted to get the exposure as close as possible. Oh, lens was my 35 Ultron, which I found pretty easy to focus, even in low light. We shall see, it was hard to compose the shots as I would have wanted due to the number of people roaming around.
So, how many shots will be at least decent enough to share with my friends?
Who else shot last night? What did you do?

I got a few at the halloween party we took our son to. Nothing special, really, but they were with the Kiev, a Jupiter 8m and no flash. And no meter...
They're in my gallery.

I took a roll of 36 HP5+ last night with my Konica hexar AF with flash. What's that about rangefinders and not using flash? Why not? I'll develop it soon, but then I need to make prints and scan them before being able to post pictures here. I could use a film scanner.
Polaroid SLR680 with a couple packs of film. Gave the shots away to the kids in costume and neighbors who handed out candy while themselves in costume.

I bet you get more keepers than I do.

That may or may not be the case, however the lighting in your shots will be much more interesting that in mine!

I shot a bike riding crowd of Halloween celebrants. I used a Canon SLR when it got too dark for my CV21/4 so I haven't uploaded the photos into the gallery here. Comments are welcome. Some aren't very Halloweenie.
