I would shoot a colour film that is lower in contrast and saturation in Velvia, since Velvia will more than likely show any shifts coming from your lighting. Scala is a wonderful b&w slide film, but it is expensive and can take a while to process if you're in the wrong part of the world. If you have the money and time, I'd certainly use it, but you'll get perfectly fine results from something like Provia 100F. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
