I use to shoot Fuji Superia 400.  That was great, but seeing my friend's
100ISO pics, I started to shoot 100.  Been shooting Provia 100 for the last
maybe 12 rolls, thinking about moving to maybe a 200, since I do find myself
shooting at wide open often because of the film.  That extra stop does give
me some added sharpness..

>It depends on how you shoot and what your normal film speed is.  I
tend to use ISO 50 film.  On rainy days and heavy clouds I find I am
frequently shooting at 2.8 or 4. Remember that shooting wide open
which is what you will have to do a lot is not always the best idea.
One or two stops down from wide open usually gives you sharper and
better corrected images.
