Try also, Kodak Tri-X, which is ASA 400 black and white. Use a two stage stop bath with Photo-Flo. Air dry 15 minutes. Process the prints with Kodak Rapid Process Film. Try exposure as F16 from 2 seconds to 5 seconds.
Film is cheap.
Tri-X is the film usually used in bank cameras, which means you can get it in 150 foot rolls and rewind it into your own 35mm canisters for maximum economy. TMAX seems hard to find. We get ours from the place that does our new product photos, so maybe it's special purpose stuff that you might have to ask around for. Video is similar to 35mm. You still need a relay lens, but a different one from the film camera lens.
