Provia 100F is a good choice if there are only exteriors, or daylight
lit interiors. The easiest thing for interiors is to shoot negative
film, and get transparencies made from that. It's a lot of work to
get good transparencies with mixed lighting. I shoot interiors only
with NPS or NPL now, whichever is closer, both in MF and LF, and then
provide the client with the output they want.
If a client does want the originals shot on transparency film, the
cost is 2-4x depending on conditions, as both my time and material
costs go up significantly.
