you don't need to go entirely one way or the other, use both depending on what the end output you want is. If you can control exposure (ie be patient) slide's the way to go, but for more 'snap shot' stuff print film's larger tolerance might me the better way to go. Slide film tends to be bette

Tas, stay with print film (if you intend to shoot film). It is true what you were told. Negative film is more tolerant to exposure than slide film. You should experiment with different emulsions, though. (Fuji, Kodak, Ilford, Konica...) Try some B&W emulsions as well as the results are quite di
