I stepped down to about f5.6 for the shot(wide open is f3.5) and used flash and 1/50-1/60 shutter speed for 35mm focal length.
The developing lab was Colour Lab.
Actually I was quite surprised to see the results as I didn't expect NPH400 to be so soft as I have gotten better results in the past with plain old Superia200(also developed at Color Lab). I did wonder if it was properly processed but decided to ask around first.
I was thinking about this too, but I don't have access to such equipment currently. I did the same shoot in the past with lesser number of people(40) and plain consumer film and the results were passable.
Since I might have to do a reshoot anyway, are there better suggestions for film(ISO400)?
