ideal "all round" film stock

[peter_g]

Kodak Vision 200T 7274 has been recomended to me as a good all round stock, suitable to shoot tungsen and daylight (with an 85 filter). Since I really want to avoid the complication of shooting several different speed stocks, whats the consensus on the best stock and speed to use as an allrounder?

Thanks

I think that the 7274 would be a great choice. There are some other stocks you should take a look at too. The 7277 can be a really nice film if you think you will finish on video.

Also, Kodak is going to be expanding the Vision2 line of films to include a 100T and a 200T film. I have shot the V2 7218 500T and thought it looked great. It would well be worth shooting if you have a set of ND's for exteriors.

Good Luck

I probably won't need to shoot film that fast because I recently discovered I can't rent a great lighting kit - a whole bunch of blondes - for ?50 a day off a government subsidised body. So I think I'll go with the Kodak Vision 200T 7274. That way, if I ever do get a 35mm blow-up (even though, yes, its highly unlightly) I won't have maybe limited myself by using that 7277.

Thanks for all your help , Nigel
