Hi,

I use Fuji NPC 160 (at 120) and Fuji NPH 400 (at 320)  for color. I never
needed anything else.

I think you need to use flash almost always with color negative film (except
outside). If you don't use flash inside (or under a tent) you will get
strange colors. I don't really understand the advice to use available light
inside with 800 asa color film.
I advice against using 800 asa color negative films. You need flash anyway
so 800 asa is not necessary and gives bigger grain.

Ofcourse it's different when using bw films.

I prefer Fuji.

Some people like thea, other prefer coffee ;-)

with kind regards,
Dimitri
