From what I've read, I think 800 would work best, but I've never used it before. (I've never gotten spectacular results for that kind of thing either. ) I have gotten decent results using 400 speed film and turning the flash off for shots of lights at night. I'm doing Osborne lights for the first time this year and am hoping I can somehow get good results. I don't think my camera takes 800 speed film though. . .
