I bought a stock Holga 120N for about 30 bucks.

Here are two shots I took at one of the military band's concert.

I shot HP5+ pushed to 1600 (ID11), however I think I want to try Delta 3200 pulled to 1600 next time.

(Also, these are scans from 8x10 Multigrade.)

What do you guys think?

Nice, never seen concert photos made with a Holga. The lens seems to have flatten the high contrast that is inherent to stage lighting.

Maybe a little bit...

But I also printed the negs split grade which were pretty contrasty.

On that note....the Japanese do an exceptional job lighting.
