So I'm going to do two test reels on my new 16mm camera. I bought direct from Kodak two 100' 500T 7218 's and two 7205 250D's... I plan on doing single frame tests with fstops over many different settings and lighting conditions, adjusting a stop up and a stop down each time. Upon watching the Kodak Film Stock comparison DVD, my eyes have been opened and I'm wondering what you film pro's think.
100ASA Kodak seems like it can do it all. I shot many reels of 200ASA with my 35mm still and was never truly happy with it in anything but sunny conditions. 400 gave me much more versatility, hence my decision to buy 250 and 400. But maybe I am thinking too fast. Is 100ASA really capable of just about everything but night and super low light scenes? Also, I have heard it is better to slightly underexpose more than anything to allow more freedom in post. Any opinions on 16/35 film stock choices is appreciated.
