One thing that I am trying to do is keep my field depth relatively shallow.
That's one reason why I'm using slower film. But I can also alleviate that a
bit by taking one of my newer vintage cameras with a top shutter speed of
1/2000.

Jefferey:

One thing I was going to mention and forgot is kinda relevant in the 
sunny climes we inhabit. Sometimes fast film takes away that ability to 
make focus work for us. I'm sure you encounter this all the time. Go 
outside and it's all f16 and be there. When Old Sol is in the sky we are 
at his mercy. I started carrying around a 39mm neutral density filter 
(4x). I can pretend I'm shooting 100 speed film, have the control of  
picking the aperture of my choice and still use one film.
