There are several good brands of film on todays market. Choosing the right film for you doesn't have to be a difficult task.
What brand should I buy? What ASA is right for the conditions I'm shooting?
Before you rush out and buy any film think about the pictures you will be taking. The smaller the ASA number the slower the film and the more light required to achieve the same exposure. Thus a film with an ASA rating of 100 needs more light than a film rated ASA 400. and ASA 800 or higher needs less light than the 100 or 400 ASA film.
So why all these film ratings?
Well , as a rule, the slower the film speed, the better the picture quality or grain of the film. Film rated as ASA 100 produces a much finer grain or a sharper image than a film rated at ASA 800. If you are planning on doing any enlargements, The slower the film, the better the results.
Generaly, the film can be titled, Bright sun (ASA100), Cloudy ( ASA400),
or low light Indoor (ASA800). This doesn't mean that you can't shoot ASA100 in low light. It simple states that you need a longer shutter speed to achieve the same results as a higher ASA rated film. The results however, will be better at the slower ASA rating.
OK, So why not always buy ASA100?
Hand held, quick action requires a faster film, and a slower film required a longer exposure time. With a longer exposer time comes the need for a tri-pod
to prevent camera shake. It may not be possible to shoot your subject at a slower shutter speed because of the action that is taking place. You may end up with a blured phot due to the fact... 1). You subject moved. or 2) you moved.
Before purching film, know what conditions you will be shooting in. If you are unsure, it may be benificial to purchase a roll of each type to insure you have the right film on hand for the right subject, lighting, and intended results.
