likely guess is that the cloth-shutter is a bit on the bad side. i'll try to cock the shutter right before taking the picture, and not right after as i usually do. some suggest to paint the cloth with some black paint. but i need to pinpoint the exact leakage before i do that.
anyhow, i brougth it to a concert with nasir jones last night. ran a t-max 400, exposed it at f2.8, 1/125, and pushed to 1200. decent result, but the focus was way off. rangefiners are hard to control in low light situations. some turned out ok:

FED 2 isn't the lightest to use in low light indeed. Remember though that it's a 60 year old camera that was considered 'budget' in it's heyday. There's nothing inherently hard about using a RF with large, bright viewfinder (something the FED lacks) in low light.
But, your concert shots rock anyway :)
Thanks Eugene. As said, it was kinda troublesome to get right focus. Next time I will probably use a faster film too, so I can use a smaller aperature.
