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.
