Today I am using print film (Mom wants them to send to our kids) usually Kodak gold 200. Not great but it works pretty well. For my granddaughter's wedding I used 400 and 1600 TMax (I think it was) and shot the 400 at 800. The reception was in a castle looking building and very dark inside. I used two M6's with a 50 noct. on one and 35/1.4 on the other and shot them wide open. For normal family snaps I usually use the 35/1.4 the most (probably 95% of the time), sometimes the 24/2.8 and the 90/2.0. For church services etc, when I can't get out of it, Kodak Gold 400 without flash. Dick Hemingway Plano, TX
