You do always need flash if you want flash photos. Otherwise, high speed
color or black and white negative film will do just fine. :-)

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
