P3D Re: Shooting Rhinos in the Dark

Good suggestions!
I'm hoping to follow Bob H's idea of using the available light with tripod
to avoid the flash reflection issues Greg described, and to take advantage
of that dramatic light on the museum dioramas.  Hopefully I can make those
painted panoramic back walls look like they are simply beyond the range of
stereo acuity - if I avoid showing where wall and floor meet.

The tungsten slide films are generally in the neighborhood of 60 ISO - if
I'm remembering right.  Has anyone experience with faster
tungsten-balanced films?  Is Kodachrome with a correcting filter a better
option in any way?  Are there color negative films designed for tungsten? 
Am I just asking for grain problems if I try faster films - how good are
the new ones really?

As to greasy kid-marks on the glass, I'm not above sneaking in a teeny
spritzer of glass cleaner and a cloth.  It's pretty deserted there on
Sunday mornings.  I'll leave the squeegee at home, though.  ;-)
