[OM] More thread starters

Since the conversation has died down from my first big question (I sure
learned an amazing amount), I thought I'd ask a couple more.

My daughters are about to start soccer (football for the rest of you).
They've never played, which means I've never shot it.  I have almost
unrelated questions:

1) What film would most people recommend (color, don't flame me).  Normally
I would expect clear bright skys but want to stop the action.

2) Lens choice:  My thinking is my Vivitar Series 1 70-210 one-touch.  Seem
reasonable?

3) Since they are on different teams, they'll watch each other.  Seemed like
a perfect time to introduce them to Zuikoholism (did I spell that right).
You'll see I offered to buy the 135, and here's my reasoning.  They're small
(6&7), so a big long lense that requires control didn't seem to make sense.
An expensive lense REALLY didn't make sense.  So, my plan is to put the 135
on an OM-G body and set a pretty big aperature to get a fast shutter speed.
Let them shoot away (no winder, I can't afford the film....)  Does this seem
reasonable?  I realize its a little short (135), but I can't see them
holding a 200 steady or understanding a zoom yet.

Any thoughts/comments?

Thanks,

Tom
