What speed film do you use? A lot of mine are being rejected, and I think it's because I was useing 200 film. I like the 200 because it's not as grainy as 400. But now that I changed from 400 to 200, he won't take them. On the topic, put either: 100, 200, 400, 800 etc. And tell me in your opinion why you like it. Thanks.

hi everybody
as I take slides only I use Kodachrome KR64, which is rather expensive but is not grainy at all and the colors stay good for a long time. I got pictures which are older than 30 years and still look perfect.
Gary, have fun in ZRH, the weather is supposed to be good all weekend. Highlight will be the AOM A340 leaving around 8pm on Sat. (hopefully)
take care
Olav

OK being a fully qualified ex air force photographer I can tell you that I use anywhere from ISO 25 up to ISO 800 and if need be will push that to 1600. Most of my photos are taken with 100 and 400 but I bet you can'yt pick the 800ISO shots. In todays computer enviroment and the incress in film quality, most newspaper photographers I know use only ISO800. he main interest people have in grain size is how it will look if you actually blow the negative up to an 8 x 10 inch or 14 x 11 photo. Then the only other choice is what people prefer in colour. Some films are much better for example, showing blues or greens. Slides, you ccan't beat for quality but I personally prefer prints. But you can do amazing things on a computer but stay away from CHEAP film, they give you CRAPPY Prints

I have a Nikon70 with a tamron 28-300 lens, so it better not be the camera. I went back to 400 when I spotted at Orlando/Sanford yesterday. I'm also going to try 100 speed too, and see what happens.

Oh really? I didn't know that. I usually aviod spotting on cloudy days if I can. I have a friend that uses kodak max 100 all the time (sunny, cloudy etc), I think his lens only goes to 220, and his pics come out great just about everytime. I've had the best experience with 400 though.

Film is a very personal thing. If you don't own fast, professional lesnes you're better off with 200 ISO upwards. I only own two zooms and had stunning results with Fujichrome 200.

I also use a Nikon N70 with Tamron 70-300mm and Tokina 28-200mm. I use Kodak Royal Gold 200 almost exclusively. The 400 is too grainy for my taste. I have no problem with Johan accepting my photos.

I have Nikon F50d with Sigma 75mm-210mm lens.
Since I got that camera (2years ago) I'm using always ASA 100. Here is an example how it works on cloudy and rainy days:

On that topic, what would you consider a good lens for taking pictures with ASA100?
I have a Canon EOS RT with a Canon 75-300/4,5-5,6 tele. Would this be a fast enough lens?

I typically use Fujicolor 100 speed. If it is a sunny day, it will provide you with a fairly fast shutter speed.
