From the results of a recent assignment where we shot about 40 plus rolls of colour neg under all kinds of mixed light, fluorescent, daylight, mercury vapor combinations and oh yeah tungsten also. We used Kodak Supra 800! The results of using Supra 800 were quite remarkable. I'd say run with that, as you have speed for available classroom lighting, plus fine grain and good looking colour. On the other hand, there will now be 329 other observations and film choices posted to completely cloud your mind in answer to your question! ;-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
