Well a week ago I have to take pictures for the annual party. I analysed the pictures made years ago by another one at the same place with a Nikon AF and noticed that 90% of pictures where made with the same issue (thanks to exif info !). So I made the equivalent with this:
A CFV-39 at 400 asa (in artificial light setup) with my 50mm 2.8 motor and flash. As I could analyse the light, I use a filter on a flash to give artificial light to mix with the light of the room. So 90% of my pictures were made at 1/30 F 1/9.5 Flash at M/2 (half power in manual mode) with winder and PME viewfinder. The PME is really a pain to work with as the view is too small to focus correctly but this viewfinder is helpful to handle the SB-27 flash. I never use help for light measure except the histogram of the cfv-39. All pictures were perfect exposed with this manual mode. Most of time I setup the distance to 1.4m and put myself at 1.4m of the subject then I made a picture like this and an other one focussing "TTL". A very good idea to works fast and anyway the set up was not bad at all (80% ok) BTW the problem is not to focus perfect, but to have eyes of couples at the same distance ! I mean that If you have more than one persona on the picture, one is sharp others not as sharp !
The bad point is that a 40mm should have been better with the 36x48mm CFV, and buffer of the CFV is just not fast enough when you use the "speedy" 203 winder.
