I have just bought a zoom lens of 70-300 for my Pentax MZ-50. I am on my way to New Zealand and will be taking shots of the snowy mountains, landscape and also the wildlife. I am not sure which speed film to use with this lens. Your comments would be a great use to me as I am just starting out. Many thanks

Film is a subjective thing--lots of people love film that I think is rubbish.

Maybe more important is where you take yours to get it developed. If you are not sure where to take yours, or not sure where they will do a good job, don't take all your vacation photos to be developed, immediately, upon return! Take a few and see how the place you have chosen does.

Editor's Note: A vacation is never the place to try new camera equipment for the first time. Test the camera and zoom lens at home and get some pictures developed before you leave on your trip.
