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. > evening. Do I want to use the Kodak pro films? Or are the consumer > grade good enough? What about other than Kodak? I prefer Fuji. Some people like thea, other prefer coffee ;-) with kind regards, Dimitri - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
