In a few weeks I'm going to photo some drugstore antiques in a museum--still lifes. I'm thinking of using my 4x5 with older lenses; maybe WW1 vintage Dagor/Tessar, maybe an 1850s Petzval. I'm wanting a soft, low contrast look here. I haven't used color film in nearly 15 years now, and am thinking that's what I need here. I definitely don't want a saturated color, so something like Velvia is out. I used to use Portra 160 in 120 rolls for weddings, and I'm thinking that's my best choice here. I can tone down the saturation even more after I scan the negs and use software. Any thoughts?
