The color reproductions and the grain structure of most ISO 200 films are comparable to an ISO 100 type, giving the photographer an extra stop of speed when shooting in low light conditions, like during certain evenings when the sun is hiding behind the clouds earlier than usual or when you need extended depth-of-field coverage for the Speedlite on your camera. It can also be used for glamour photography, whether outdoors or in the studio, without sacrificing the flexibility available from an ISO 100 film.

It is also the standard among Press photographers and photojournalists the world over as the extra two stops (over ISO 100) of speed enable them to shoot virtually anything under the sun, with fine grain, contrast and superb color reproduction. The improvements in film technologies have enabled manufacturers to produce ISO 400 films matching those qualities attained by the ISO 100-type of the mid-80s. While the grain structure still cannot match those of present-day ISO 100-types, it is not a thing that bothers professional photographers working for newspapers, foreign news and sports agencies as the extra two stops of speed will allow them to capture images that can otherwise be lost due to camera shake if they use lower speed emulsions.

Instead of packing several types of film in his camera bag or photo vest, only one ISO speed category is all that will be needed for the daily assignments. On the next page are more examples of how one can use the ISO 400 speed film for the various categories of photographic opportunities. << Back to Main . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 .
