Hey what speed film do you usually use for indoor non-flash photography?

It depends on what you are shooting.

If you are inside and shooting something that doesn't move, along with a tripod, I would go for a lower film speed. 100-200. This will allow for a much crisper picture. Otherwise, use a higher speed film. 400-800. The problem with higher speed films is that they are more grainy, and don't allow for drastic enlargements.

What do you plan on shooting?

Let me reprase myself.

A general rule of photography is that you want to get away with the lowest speed film that you possibly can. Like I said before, the higher the speed film, the grainier the image.

Grain is sometimes a nice effect for portraits and such, but generally try to avoid it.

Also, higher speed film is more exspensive.

ALSO.

With low speed film, you need natural light. If you ever shoot outside on a sunny day, use a low speed film. If you shoot inside with low speed film, stay near a window.

That's all.

Cool thanks. I was just given a Canon AE-1 and I really don't know anything yet, just trying to get a feel for it.

An AE-1 is perfect for a beginner, and also, quite a lovely camera. You were lucky to be given something like that.
