Austin:

A few years ago a sign company hired me to shoot their outdoor signs.  They 
had just done all the signs at a new hospital.  I shot it on both AGFA 
Optima 50 and Velvia.  The Velvia was finer grained and sharper.  The 
colour was also more accurate.  When I showed the results to the people at 
the sign plant, the graphic artist brought both the Velvia and the AGFA 
Optima images up on the computer screen that he uses to create the 
signs.  He commented that the Velvia ones were much better and almost dead 
on to the Panatone colours in these signs.

Regards,

Robert
