[LargeFormat] A good 4x5 color negative film?

[Vincent Dobson]

160 VC is about the best choice - so many good films are just not made in
4x5 and 8x10.  I have had good results with Fuji NPS, especially when
combined with Fuji Crystal Archive paper.  I'm primarily using that now for
all except long exposures - NPS is best above 1/8 sec.  For low light shots
I like Kodak 400VC, when I can find it.  I use Agfa color chemistry in my
processor because it is the cleanest running.

<:)Are there any good 4x5 color negative films out there?  I mean
<:)for outdoor landscape photography, something similar to Fuji
<:)Provia 100F.  The closest I've found is Kodak 160VC.  All the
<:)other 4x5 films seem to be really low contrast for indoor studio
<:)work.  Is Kodak making their new 400UC (ultra color) film in
<:)4x5?  I've pretty much worked with just chromes (Provia 100F)
<:)and B&W with the 4x5.  Now that I'm doing more Type C
<:)printing I'd like to try some large format color negs.  There just
<:)doesn't seem to be much of a selection!
<:)
<:)Thanks,
