Thanks alot for any help cheers! :P im guessing vision3 500t would do the job.. Haven't tried it myself yet, but I've seen some good results on vimeo.. http://vimeo.com/videos/search:vision3%20500t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted August 15, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted August 15, 2009 500T.. you'll need the exposure. Might sneak by with 200T or something similar, but unless you're doing long exposures, without a high speed stock, or the ability to light like mad you'll be in a tough situation. 7219, here in Philadelphia, at a T1.3 without any lighting at all worked wonderfully when I had used it, as did the 7218. I havn't rolled 7217 at night, but I'd seen some very nice work off of it at night from some posters on here. Point in fact, you need to pick a film stock for what you intend to do, and if you haven't got it, well then you need to just order some; else shoot something else which fits the stock at hand.
