May you have photographic memories:

I recommend the 5247/5293 EASTMAN Color Negative high speed camera films
characterised by excellent sharpness, fine grain, and wide exposure latitude.
Use as a Daylight film, with no filtration to daylight or flash illumination
is recommended.  They may be used as Tungsten type films with no filtration
under 3200K tungsten lamps, if absolutely necessary.  If used as a Tungsten
film, then use of a No. 85 filter is required for daylight and flash exposures
on the same roll.  5247 is ASA 100, 5293 is ASA250, and each may be push-
processed to double that, for an extra buck per roll.  For 36 exposure rolls,
Color Corrected, mounted slides & negative development, a base of $6.30, which
as always includes a replacement roll of unexposed film.  All this from:

	Dale Labs
	2960 Simms St.
	Hollywood, Fla 33020-0900

They provide full print service, etc., and sell filters and accessories too.

I recently started using Eastman Kodak 5247 (through Seattle FilmWorks)
and am please with the results.  SFW says that the 5247 is ASA 200 (can be
pushed to 400 for a buck) or 125 tungsten (again can be pushed), and their
developing costs are .20 higher for a roll of 36.  I think I'll try the
address mentioned next time.  SFW also says that 5293 has been
discontinued.  They now supply 5294 as a high speed film (asa 640, 400
tungsten, these also can be pushed).  I have not used this film at all, so
I don't know the qualities of it.  The developing price is the same as it
is for the 5247.  Also when you get your processed film back there is a
roll unexposed film.  Though they don't tell you it is coming there is
also a Shooter Buck good for a dollar discount on items offered in their
catalog.  The prices in the catalog are reasonable.  Their address is:
