Best Film for England I am heading off to England with about 60 rolls of Velvia but am beginning to feel afraid that this 50 ISO film will be too slow for much of the low-light shooting. What film would you bring and about how many rolls for a two week trip? Thanks!

Wish I could start over with you, 'cause your Velvia is going to slow you down a bit as I'd rather opt for the new and truly amazing and every bit as good E100VS. You gain a whole stop get warmer skin tones (not red like Fuji) and still keep the greens (just like Fuji) and you pick up an extra stop as well-50ISO versus 100ISO. But you've got Velvia and 60 rolls should be enough for two weeks, but regarding those pesky low light situations, use your tripod, or if there is activity, such as a indoor bar scene or inside a church, I would use Kodak Max 800-I'm very serious. I know its negative film but scan it into the ol computer and pop have the service bureau pop out a slide. I recently did a shoot for Kodak for the consumer side, and shot both Max and Royal Gold, and with the outtakes I scanned them into the ol computer and downloaded some 'great stuff'-some ended up in the Higher Ground/FPG catalog. Hope this helps!
