The lighting in the church was very diffuse. The web image is softer than the actual image because of the JPEG conversion and compression. When I have shot this stuff at 400, I get very sharp detail but the faces are often unflattering. I'm going to try about 20 rolls at 200 and 320. E.I. 200 indoors is problematic unless you have a 50/1.2 at 1.2.
