O.K. thanks John, and Doris, and Hans! Now I have an excuse to go back to
the camera store for another filter. I've never done much in the way of
flash or indoor photography (obviously), so this is a whole new ballgame for
me. Family is becoming more important to me as I get older, and no one else
seems to be into photography (but bro-in-law is coming along), so I see
myself doing a lot more family pics (which means indoors, under available
light, sometimes).
I'll ask the guys at the camera store about their recommendations for films
to use. Tungsten balanced film doesn't sound like something that one would
find at the local Safeway/drug store.... And I don't like the idea of putting
a filter on over a Zuiko and losing two f-stops. I don't have the 50mm f/1.2
(yet...), so I want all the speed the film provides....
Got my homework cut out for me, it seems.... (of course, I could just use
flash and skip the homework).
