Re: what film to use?



>>I am presently still using the ordinary Kodak film (35MM of course)
available everywhere but I want to perhaps try a higher qual. film or
slides.
Can anyone advise on what a reasonable film is to move onto after
beggining on the cheap stuff... or is the cheep stuff ok?

How much difference do the different films make if you are not making
super-duper enlargements etc. just shooting for the fun of it!


All the difference in the world. If you shoot Kodachrome and Ektachrome (or
some of that stuff from the other manufacturers), you will see the
difference immediately. If you shoot fast or slow speed film, you will see
the difference. If you choose Kodachrome 25 and compare it to Kodachrome
64, you will see the difference.

There is a world of differences between film, and my suggestion is to try a
few. BTW: What do you mean "Ordinary" Kodak film? Ain't no sucha thing.
