Hi Mike,

You might try Extachrome Professional 100 (EPN).  It is very expensive, but
extremely accurate.  In my experience, this film is the most accurate that I
have tested.  It is NOT easy to get at most retail outlets.  You will need
to find a Kodak professional film outlet.

This film is used in commercial photography and it is most definately NOT a
favorite with most 35mm shooters.

You will find that it scans more easily than the new products and offers
excellent shadow detail.  It is the most boring film ever made, but it is an
absolute must when shooting commercial items, like clothing.
