Lower ISO Film Available?

[JimFox]

Getting ready for National Camera Day and wanting to try and use this old film camera that I picked up at a Camera Swap Meet last month.

It is a 35mm camera, but it has top shutter speed of 1/200th. So I need some really low ISO film ideally. Looking on Amazon I have found so much ISO 400 film, some ISO 100 film, but none of the old ISO 64 or 32 film. Does it exist still?

Ebay has some ISO 64 film.

Hmmm... I don't really care for Ebay. I may just have to shoot that camera either late in the day or early in the morning.

Thank Jameel.

Jim, Velvia is ISO 50 & is still available new. I buy a lot of slightly expired film (Velvia 50, etc) off of Ebay that is advertised as being in a fridge. I've never been disappointed in the results. There is also Cinestill 50 ISO negative film that is produced "new" from motion picture stock. It is available in 35mm & 120 roll. Low ISO films like 50 hold up well as not as kept too warm.

Thanks for the info Dan. Not sure that I want to shoot slides but I had thought about Velvia.

Have you tried Ektar 100?

Jim, Ektar 100 is my go to color neg film. It does have it's own "character", a little punchy. Especially the reds.
BUT, much more suited to landscape than Portra.

Thanks Dan. I think that's what I will be getting.
