What kind of effects will I get with a low ISO film?
If shot correctly, low ISO film will give you less grainy and higher quality images with more detail. Generally, they are perfect for bright conditions such as outdoors with bright sunshine.
For low light scenarios such as night photography, low ISO film (or slow film) can also work given the right amount of exposure. With your camera on a tripod, low ISO stocks can be used for long exposure photography to capture neon lights, car lights, cityscapes and such.
