Film for large canvas prints from my Rolleiflex TLR

[bgprest]

I'm planning on taking some pictures on my Rolleiflex (6x6) that I plan to have drum scanned and printed on stretched canvas enlarged up to around 44" square. These are going to include some pictures of my house (from unique angles) as well as some of the trees and other foliage in my yard.

I'd appreciate advice as to what (color) film would be the best to use. First off, should I use transparency film or print film. And then, what specific film would you recommend?

I'd also appreciate your recommendations on sources to have these stretched canvas prints done, hopefully in my local north Texas area (I live just north of Dallas).

Any other advice you can provide will also be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

You could use Velvia 50D the slow extremely fine grain Fuji colour slide film. That will certainly produce excellen images. Alternately Fuji Reala 100 or a Kodak equivalent you'll get optimal quality from negatives or positives and the method of printing allows more tweaking than RA-4 etc.
