[LargeFormat] Question on film characteristics and printing

[Vincent Dobson]

For optimum color I would use Agfa Ultra,  Agfa Ultra 50 has been
discontinued and I bought a lot of it up on Ebay so I would have it in the
future.  I've used NPH, Kodak VC and a lot of the others but, the Ultra was
in a clas of it's own.

But, most importantly, would be to use a custom lab that will print your
shots on Kodak Metallic paper.  This paper really brings out the colors and
they do look "metallic".

Forgive the self plug, but I have a modern lab and because my Kreonite
processor runs better the more it runs, I have decided to offer custom
printing services.

Contact me off list if you would like for me to quote your printing.  I
print up to 30 x 40, but do not print smaller than 8x10.

<:)I posted this in a Med format group, but got no
<:)answers.  I am hoping that someone here has had
<:)experience with this film.  If I shoot this with 4x5,
<:)I am going to use the NPH.  But would like to use Med
<:)format.
<:)
<:)I have an assignment to photograph several classical
<:)cars.  I normally shoot
<:)Fuji 400 NPH in my RB.  Seems that I recall that Agfa
<:)Portrait 160 was the
<:)sharpest, (lowest RMS) film on a test done by Popular
<:)Photography or Petersons
<:)Photographic.  The cars have very vivid paint jobs on
<:)them, and I want to bring
<:)out the color as well as I can.
<:)
<:)Has anyone used this film for other than portraits,
<:)and if you have, what were
<:)the results.  Also, are most labs set up with whatever
<:)filter packs, or code to
<:)properly develop and print this film??
<:)
<:)Further info, I use a polarizer, and also use the good
<:)light times, ie, early
<:)or late in the day when possible.
<:)
<:)Any advice, experience with this film used for non
<:)portrait photography will be
<:)appreciated.
<:)
<:)TIA
