Hi Jason & all,

 

Isn't forum suppose to be a place where we can exchange idea and if one can help out each other, and might be for most others around, just pick up a thing or two along the way. So let's stop those childish behavior .. OK

 

Now back to the thread, as regards films - I have not phtograph jewellery with my LF, but did do some using my MF. Since I do not know exactly what is required for that billboard. I will just have to generalize. I would assump the film will get drum scanned wet for the quality required, and a little color correction can be added post scan, so do some image manipulation. So in essence the film need just to record faithfully and be having good definition. I will then suggest Fuji Astia 100F. Or Agfa RSX-II 50 which had the cleanest white of any slide film, but do tend to grainy against other similar film.
