XPan + concert photography

[sugarfree]

For a noob: Is ASA 3200 at f4 enough for a rock concert (first rank)?

Shooting with flash was annoying the last time, not for me but for the members of the group.

TIA, cheers, Jo

Normally I push HP5 or Neopan 400 to ASA1600 in XTOL1:1 for my concert photos. Standard setup for me is 1/60th at F4 on my Leica M2/6. No different for the XPAN. But using an XPAN for Rock gigs is hard unless you can get really close in the Pit.
Oh and never use flash! You'll get thrown out if you do. 1/60th at F4 for film rated at 1600 is usually fine on available light.
