Film/Paper Question

External Since: Jul 27, 2003 Posts: 4

I have been asked to take photos of my aunt's 80th. birthday party in a few
weeks. The party will be held outdoors, and I will be using a lot of
fill-flash. I have just about every color negative and black & white film ever
made from every manufacturer in the last 10+ (both 35mm and APS) in my freezer
(well over 300 rolls). It's a big hobby of mine, and I love to try new films (I
guess I tend to carried away...lol). I have two local photo labs that do
excellent work, one uses a Fuji Frontier and Fuji Crystal Archive paper, and
the other an Agfa machine (non-digital) and Agfa Prestige Paper. I'd like an
opinion on what film and camera I should use. I have an Nikon Pronea 6i APS SLR
w/Nikkor 20-60ix zoom, and a Nikon N60 w/Nikkor 50 1.8 and Sigma 28-200 zoom.
I'd be using a Nikon SB-23 Speedlight with either for fill-flash. I think I've
narrowed down the film to Fuji Reala, Fuji Superia 200, Kodak Gold 100, Kodak
Royal Gold 100, Kodak High Definition 400, Agfa Ultra 100, Agfa Vista 400, or
Fuji F-100 (APS, that was the very fined-grained version that's no longer
produced). I guess that's not really narrowing it down! Some of the photo's
will probably be enlarged to about 8x10 or so, and the longevity of the paper
is important to me, as this is a one-time event that I'd like to document for
generations to come. So...what camera, what film, and does anyone have any info
on the longevity of Fuji Crystal Archive vs. Agfa Prestige? I'm trying to stay
away from Kodak paper, as I've read that it's not as archival as Agfa or Fuji.
Thanks for any help!

Statements of svpposed science, withovt statistics, are jvst as mvch religion,
and ONLY statements of faith as any religion, or statement of faith,
except they profess the svpposed scientist is God, even more
dangerovs than religion or God. There is no science, withovt a statement of
statistics, AND any statement withovt statistics, is a conjectvre of faith
by the professor of svch statement, and the "believer". An ethical
hovse cleaning of science and government is in order.

Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incvrred tvtelage.
Tvtelage is man's inability to make vse of his vnderstanding
withovt direction from another. Self-incvrred is this tvtelage when
its cavse lies not in lack of reason bvt in lack of resolvtion
and covrage to vse it withovt direction from another. Sapere avde!
"Have covrage to vse yovr own reason!" - that is the motto
of enlightenment.
