Glasgow subway #Widelux F7 500T at 800 (I now shoot it at 400) #filmphotographers #panos #panorama #wideluxf7

I was going to ask how you rate the 500t. You find you have enough light down there with the 1/15th speed to get all the details you want? (I don’t have many local subways to practice on 😎)

Absolutely. The sweet spot is either f2.8 or f4 and 1/15th I used to do 800 all the time but realised there is enough light in most subway systems to shoot easily on 400 be that a 200 rated up or a 400 at box. No point under exposing if I do not need to then pull back up in post.

The only change is the aperture and to be fair if I just leave it wide open it’s all good. But if I feel it’s a bit bright I will drop to f4 But beyond that it’s got to be very bright or you are gonna get golf ball sized grain

I don’t want either of those last two 😎 I did a bit underground and at night in Japan with pushing b&w stocks up to 400 and 800… but I’ve not played with 500t much other than in 120.
