Put slow film in a second body and carry along a tripod.
Then you've got the option to go that route when ever you're in the mood or the
situation seems appropriate.
You can use all the same lenses you usually hand hold with fast films.
My slow film is Delta 100. I feel like I've been getting medium format quality
results with it in fiber 11x14's and my Leica M's and Xtol 1:3 split printed.
