It doesn't have to do so much with the shutter speed or film speed or
the type of lens that you use. The orange effect is coming from the
type of lighting in the environment. I think that incandescent bulbs
give off the orange tint that you are referring to. The least expensive
way to deal with this is by purchasing a filter for your lens. Go to a
reputable camera store and there should be someone knowledgeable enough
to help you there.

Can anyone give me advice on taking photographs in a gym without them coming
out orange? I have a Canon AE-1 Program and I'd like to use an 80-200 zoom.
I've tried using 400 or 800 in program mode but the camera chooses
super-slow shutter speeds which causes the action to be all blurry. Trying
to set shutter speed myself results in orange-tinted pictures. I haven't
tried my flash because it just doesn't seem enough for such a large space,
not to mention I don't want to blind the atheletes, but should I try? Any
suggestions? I'm using Kodak film, tried shutter speeds from 30 to 1000,
and I've been letting the camera pick the f-stop.
