Film for Chicago in December?

[D.J.]

I'll be having a few days in Chicago in December, but what film to take?
I guess I'll need something fast. Will a 400iso be enough?

Sure, and you can always push to 800 or 1600 if it's too dark.

Really depends on what you plan to shoot.

Luckily buying film local is no problem. Make sure to stop by Central Camera.

Chicago in December is almost guaranteed to be gloomy. Plus the sun will rising late and setting early. Definitely plan on using fast film. For color, maybe Portra 400. For B&W, Tri-x or HP5.
