By ■■BAvUI lu/MMBI I Ernie Felier ■■■■■■■■■■■■■l I CHOOSING A COLOR FILM Perhaps the most frequently asked question at our store is: Which film is best? Usually, I try to answer the customer's question with another question: What do you plan to photograph? Then, another question: Do you want prints or slides? Then, still more questions regarding lighting conditions, type of camera, etc. Finally, after this third degree ends, both the customer and I are fairly certain that we ve selected the right film for his or her particular needs. The fact is, there is no such thing as a for all situations. Usually, the type of camera or the lighting conditions are the determining factors in film selection. Anyone using a cartridge-loading instamatic type camera is somewhat limited in his choice of films; usually, one color print, one slide and one block and white film. Fortunately, though, these ore all very good films with wide exposure latitude for this non-adjustable type camera. Those of us who use the 35mm camera format have a much broader film choice. I, personally, try to match my film selection to the lighting conditions that are available at the time. To put it another way, I use the lowest ASA-rated fjlm that will do the job. Which film is best for your particular needs is the real question. Next week, well try to answer this, as we discuss the various color films in greater detail. In the meantime, you're always welcome at Goshen Camera Mart, 118 S. Main.
