Indoor 35mm Film Hi! What film would you suggest for quality indoor pix? Friends are telling me ISO 800. We are going to Graceland soon and want nice pix inside the Mansion. Thanks, Rick.

You would need 800 if you are not allowed to use flash, or don't want to use it. 800-speed films have improved, but they're still pretty grainy. 400 speed films have improved a lot more, and I would stick with the 400s, especially if you know you can use a flash.

Hello Rick, I have had great results recently using Kodak 400 High Definition Color Film. It's fast enough to use with natural window lighting and no flash (depending on your settings); and when a flash is introduced there is minimal grain and excellent clarity. The one drawback I have noticed is the film leans towards a bluish green tint. More so outdoors with plants, grass, trees and sky. It has a rich beautiful coloring however sometimes it looks a bit unreal.It would definately be worth a try. Kodak Max 800 is an extremely versatile film with or without a flash. As long as you don't want to blow your image up to larger than approx. 16x20 its a very safe film to choose. If you want a black and white film and do plan on using a flash you might want to bring along Kodak TMAX 100. Have a great time at Graceland.

Like above, 800 but you also need an 80A filter on your lens for shooting without flash. Remove it to use your flash.

As a former resident of Memphis whose wife worked at Graceland, let me tell you that flash photography is NOT allowed in the Mansion. If your camera automatically turns on the flash in low light settings, you will need to turn off the flash. The 400 speed films are usually good enough to get the shots you want.

Would 800 be not right in lighting in Graceland? If 400 is fine enough, ok. Thanks, Rick. I have fuli Superia Xtra 400. What do u think?

Have you used the fugi film before in low light situations? If it was me I would definately go with the kodak max 800. It has very saturated coloring and lots of flexibility regarding exposure. I have never been dissapointed using the 800. Below is an image I took at a concert with 800 film pushed to 1600 and it still wasn't grainy...have fun!
