Looking for suggestion of a studio 4x5 film for still life / sculpture

[1erCru]

I've shot with Portra 400 ( which I like ) and Ektar ( which is awesome but maybe not so much for studio use ). I Purchased a new dish that puts out a lot of light so a 100 asa film is preferable. I've been looking into Provia 100f. Looking for some recommendations. I do like a neutral image but possibly with some more " flavor ".

What about Portra 160 at a EI100? in 35mm that gives great results colour wise.

Another vote for Portra 160. My sense is that Ektar caters to the studio, where light is more controllable to manage its higher contrast. Do you mean you prefer a more neutral palette? Then Ektar wouldn't be the choice.

So, only color and anything but transparency films then?

I've been getting a blue cast that's been difficult to manage with Ektar. I'm using a higher quality dish that puts out a ton of light so I'll be eager to get back the latest shots with Ektar. I only shoot 4x5 now as the scanning results are better and I don't need to go through tons of film.

I'm going to try Portra 160 and possibly Provia the 100

I have had great results with window light with a white reflector to open the shadows. color balance doesn't seem to be a problem.
