Brief Scenes

What type of 35mm film for a SLR camera would be best for an outdoor vacation (beginner)?

Just bought my boyfriend a SLR camera for his birthday, to use on our upcoming vacation. I want to buy him film to use, but I don’t know what kind. Suggestions? I’m looking for what type would likely be the best to cover all of our needs. It’s a summer road trip, and I imagine the majority of pictures will be taken outside of nature/scenery, and the two of us – both candids & posed shots.

I suggest either Fujicolor PRO400H (ISO 400) or Kodak Portra 400VC (ISO 400, Vivid Color). Both are fine grain fast film and if your BF is a beginner it allows a higher shutter speed at a given f-stop. His success rate will be much higher.

I have bought from all of the above sellers and been completely satisfied.
