Hello Everyone

I am planning to photograph the venus transit event this June. My equipment is 12-inch LX200 F/10 (3 inch off-axis aperture), Baader Visual solar filter and Pentax Spotmatic. What film would be best for this event? I am looking for good color representation and detail like sun spots and Venus ofcourse.

I'd recommend a faster film for finer grain. Try a professional slide film in the 50-100 speed range.
