It should work just fine. If you use the two lights to create soft light on your subject, you won't have a lot of control over the amount of light on your background. So your background may be darker depending on how far away it is from the subject. That might be the desired effect though.

I use it at f8 because at that value is sharp, and for that you need a lot of light( daylight, sun). Not good for indoor/night photos. Also if you want to take sharp pictures of moving targets its not recomended, for that you need a lot of light OR a lens who is sharp at low f OR a camera with low noise at high iso.

No use in daylight or get a led flash light and use 400 ASA film Fuji works good. And use a tripod. Long exposure product real interesting photographs.

I took some sample pics in the house at night with just lights on. They looked OK without the flash. I find with indoor pics I usually don't like the flash because it seems to wash out the photo.

I wouldn't think this would take photos at night. This filter demands long shutter speeds and alot of light to render it's unique look. I haven't tried it at night though.

It is depending on you expectations as was said earlier. If you are shooting the concert itself, I don't think this lens is for you. But if you shooting the lead singer with the band in the background and the lead singer is you subject, this maybe perfect. I say this because you have to keep in mind that the background will be blurred. I'm assuming that this is a small intimate concert where you have the table in the front and center. This will not work too well with a big name concert where you're 100 rows back. BTW I am going on the therory of this lens. I have not tried to use it for a concert myself. But the low light feature will blow you away. Good luck. It is depending on you expectations as was said earlier. If you are shooting the concert itself, I don't think this lens is for you.

Honestly- I sent mine back. I was not happy with the video quality in low lighting. I have the Sony DSC-HX9V & LOVE it! I'm thinking of upgrading to the HX50V. It takes great video in low lighting! I'm a big concert buff!

I took some AMAZING picture on a virtually black night with just a little bit of moon. Be careful, though -- you need to use a tripod. Above 200 ISO the images are very noisy, and the image stabilization only works down to about 1/8 second. But with a good tripod you can go to a multiple second exposure.

It can be used that's what I got it for you just have to be careful where you mount it. It does not have a very good picture it is very dark. I would not buy it. It's not very good.

I have used it to film at night and this camera needs good illumination to record properly. It works fairly well as a car cam at night but it has a hard time in really low light conditions.

I just posted some pics of the convention on Amazon. Actually, the low light performance is pretty good after taking the RAW image through Adobe Lightroom.

Should do fine in low light too, but adding light will always give you better results.

it was pretty great, but in dark rooms no there is not much to do in dark,clarity is great but when zooming in or out while recording it may at times became blurry for a sec, battery wise is great it runs good I'm not so sure but maybe anywhere from 2 hrs constant use to 6 hrs if are not using much in the day.

It is good for concerts because of low light lens. U can zoom in some and still hold it still for shots. Don't zoom all way out or they will blur. Hold camera still and "take a breath" to not shake camera. Then do final cropping on your computer.

Sure if you're going to be outside a lot or somewhere with lots of lights because indoors the picture gets dark at times . There are better ones out there but for the price it's cool .

A candle and box of matches can be used as a backup. Okay that's a joke, BUT in my experience all except for the darkest scenarios, available light exposures yield better photos than the flash.
