    4x5 slidefilm for long exposure (magic hour/night)?

    hi everybody,

    i intend to shoot city life/ city lights in the magic hour and at night-can anyone recommend a slidefilm for that purpose?
    don't wanna scan afterwards- wanna keep the slides and put them on my lightbox..

    regards,
    m

    I'd go with Astia 100F if you're concerned with reciprocity issues.

    Astia in chrome for long exposures, BUT I would actually prefer a color negative film anyway for twilight shooting.
    Thanks,

    Fuji T64 is another great film for evening and night photography.
