What speed of film should I get for my 35mm
Someone said no flashes in museums. What kind of film should I get? Should I carry my film in my carry-on bag or pack it in my luggage? Should I take A camcorder or is it a pain lugging it around?

Hi SOUTHERNDEMON,
The answers depends on where you are going or what are you going to shot.
Generally I carry a combination of ISO 200 & 400 films, use 400 when the sky is grey or lack of lights. Use a ISO 100 film if you are going to a very sunny place (like the Caribbean)
Carry ALL your films in your carry-on, the security x-ray for carry-on is still safe for films. The more powerful X-ray for check-in luggage will damage your films and the result is cumulative.
As for camcorder, personally I'll avoid it as it is a pain to lugging it around and I got dizze watching them afterward.

I'll second what Louie said. Where are you going? It might make a world of difference in terms of film. If you'll never be in a church or museum (and the world is bright), ASA 100 will give you excellent results. If you'll be in and out, I like ASA 400. I'll tick off all the Agfa and Konica film people, but I would say stick with Fuji or Kodak film. Avoid store brands. Even if you've had good success with a store brand in the past, that doesn't necessarily mean that they'll have the same film maker actually making the film on sale today. Don't decide on using some kind of film you've never used before. If you're going to try new films, try them at home well ahead of time so you can decide what you like best.

Best of luck.

I agree with Infortrack.... If you get dizzy watching your cam corder movies, then you must be panning too fast. ... Pat ]
