This is often too slow.  I would take faster film unless you are
*absolutely sure* that you are allowed flash.  I have often had to shoot at
3200 to keep exposures above 1/15 sec at f2.8 because of the lighting.  You
want a little extra depth of field because, as I outlined in my prior
email, focus may be difficult.  If I were to do any of this again, I would
carry 1600 film and be prepared to push it.
