I'm with Mr Monteith on that.

Don't have particularly fast lenses f3ish but I'm now shifting to 400speed film because I often can't take the shot, get blurred shots or can't get the depth of field I want with provia/reala 100asa when its overcast, under a canopy or I'm zoomed. And I'm too lazy to carry a tripod.

Nowdays the difference between 50/100/400 in terms of grain is barely noticable.....this its basically a hangup from 20 or 30 years ago. Go compare a couple of shots of provia 100 vs 400. If you like velvia colour and have fast lenses then sure, go for the 100. But if you don't carry a tripod and your handholding 50asa then you're very limited or wasting a lot of film.

My 2 cents.

Hey...whats happened to the forum police.....I thought this was a climbing site. :)
