Film Speed

[Ann Marie]

Help! Tomorrow I am doing a photo dive for one of my AOW dives. I am supposed to bring a roll of film, but I don't know which speed would be best. Any help would be appreciated! :06:

Cheers!

Do you have strobes if not I would use 400asa if you have strobes and going to shot macro I would use Fuji Velvea 50 asa, wide shots Velvia 100 asa.
Hope this helps.

Can't go wrong with 400 - I like Fuji much better than Kodak YMMV

Your instructor should be able to give you some advice, too. Are you using your own camera or a hire one?

Better bring 100 ASA film. Not all camera's/strobes work automatically with 50 ASA, and manual compensation adds another level of complexity.

I agree with Ron, ASA100 speed film is the norm, not all cameras are compatable with faster speeds. besides, the faster speed films are grainier. Fuji Reala was my favorite.
