Winogrand and others used it on any day. In S16 400 ISO is 1/500 instead of 1/125 for ISO 100. For Winogrand, other and me
I don’t understand why people use 400 iso 135film in broad daylight. Iso 100 film is so much better on all accounts.
A lot depends on your broad daylight and what percentage of the day such light lasts for. Those of who live above latitude 55 on a small island called the U.K. find that 400 has the range needed.I don’t understand why people use 400 iso 135film in broad daylight.

Two rodents reading but not comprehending. Ha ha ha.The OP stated, "I don't do Photoshop or anything", yet you recommend:
Two people talking, but no communication happened.
Sounds like you won't be developing yourself. And since you are going to order from a large store,Hey I'm new to black and white film,
do yourself a favor: order Iford XP2. It's a B&W film that is processed like color negative film. You are more likely to have a place near you that processes color negative (C41) than traditional B&W. Set your camera to ISO200 (I mean 200) and shoot happily.before I order from B&H

If your people reference is to U.S. people and the daylight is summer light then 100 may be fine.

Yeah absolutely. I can only imagine the 100ISO advocates are either shooting with a tripod, live in California shooting in an open sunny desert and/or shooting wide open all the time.
In the UK even on a sunny day I need 400ISO to cover sun and shade whilst keeping a decent depth of field.
If in my local wood shooting Ektar on a sunny day I need a tripod
Better as defined by who?
I understand it. The OP probably prefers the look for 400 speed film but wants to shot it in bright sunlight. I also prefer to have some grain in my images. 100 speed film doesn't give me enough grain.I don’t understand why people use 400 iso 135film in broad daylight.

As defined by me. That’s my experience. I respect yours and glad that you like your results.Better as defined by who?
what if you don't want that fine grain look, but rather something more grainy?
I just shot two rolls of TMax P3200 in bright sunshine on the beach and love the results.
I live in Montreal, Canada. Yes the second coldest city in the world, after Moscow, that has over 1M inhabitants, with a yearly average temp of 1c and the all shitty stuff that comes with it.
Iso 100 is a golden standard. But I guess people will argue no matter what.
+1Using filters would be one advantage of using 400 speed film...use a yellow, orange, or red filter and you are down in the equivilent of 200 to 50 ASA films. For snapshots, Tri-X will allows one to hand-hold at faster shutter speeds...or worry less about focus and DoF. Have fun!
Nah, you just full of it.

D for geography for you, as well.

I have been in all, including your cosy place, in Montreal you are spoiled.
Absolutely, try some contrast filters. Medium yellow is the old standby . But a 25A red filter at the beach, dark sky and water, clouds really show up.Using filters would be one advantage of using 400 speed film...use a yellow, orange, or red filter and you are down in the equivilent of 200 to 50 ASA films.

I'd echo the use of at least a yellow filter, not only will it cut some of the light reaching the film but it will help render skies as something other than "pure white".
As for 100ISO film in the UK, I use it frequently and rarely with a tripod. But then I learned with Kodacolor 80ASA film on a medium format camera with maximum aperture of f3.5 and "guess the distance" manual focus. I still think that if I could do that aged five, the average adult ought to be able to....but am frequently proved wrong. Having said that, I still cannot reliably tie my shoe laces so I guess we all have different skill sets.
*Sigh* Why do people always attack or insult posters ? That's the internets I suppose.
I'm glad ISO100 works for you. Personally, when I'm shooting a high contrast scene where I'm over exposing a stop, at f8/11 and want to keep a decent shutter speed whilst hand holding, ISO100 doesn't cut it.
Heck, I still shoot on a medium format camera every now and again with a top aperture of f4.5 and guess the distance focusing.... and that always has ISO400 film in it.
average adults roll their eyes at me for not being able to tie my shoes. As I said, we're all born with or develop different skill sets. The boy scouts gave me my knot tying badge out of sympathy on the 7th try.
