My grandaughter is getting married next year and wants me to take some pictures at the wedding reception. She will have a formal wedding photographer - so I won't have to do that ( did it twice - not great). What I want to do is take informal pictures at the reception with my M6s. She turned down the idea of B&W, which I understand is getting pretty popular again. So I will be taking color print film. I don't yet know the light levels, but I imagine it will be more on the darker rather than the lighter side. I will be able to visit and take some readings well before the wedding. I have a 24/2.8 ASPH. 35/1.4 ASPH, 50/2.0 and 90/2.8. I have been thinking along the lines using the 35 and a 50 noct, wide open - or perhaps the 35/1.4 and 75/1.4. I may use B&W in one camera anyway - or color print in both and just keep a different lens on each body. what is a good color print film to use?? I don't know the type of lighting yet either. Ideas from them who has been there??? Obviously, to use the 50 noct. or the 75 I will have to change some of my lenses around. Dick Hemingway Plano, TX
