That is why when you shoot color film without flash indoors, the pictures come out yellow... OK, so what would be the purpose for 800 speed color film, if you are going to get yellow pictures shooting with it in low light conditions? It can't be for use with a flash, you'd be shooting at f22 and using a really low powered flash... Even for outdoor use, for fast sports...it might be useful for a very fast camera (as in fast shutter speed), really stopped down...but I'd think you'd be hard pressed to really "need" it. Under some circumstances, I could see it being useful...like if the sky is overcast. Does anyone actually use high speed color film for low light indoor use? If so, what have you noticed WRT color balance? What do you use 800 speed film for? Kodak has some new 800 Porta, which is why I'm asking.
