Hi Mahavir, Some films are made to hold detail, while others are made to capture images in low light. You might try Fuji Velvia for a color transparency film, or if you have access to processing Kodachrome. Ilford makes a slow speed black and white film Pan F that would be good for black and white. I really like T-Max 100 for black and white. The key thing is that film is an information storage medium and a piece of 35mm film does not store much information. If you really want detail go to a larger negative, say 120 film or 4X5. I use 8X10 sometimes, I really like that level of detail. Good luck! John Siskin

Hi Mahavir, Likely you are not rushing out to buy or rent a medium or gross format camera. That being the case, let’s run down a few simple suggestions that will optimize image quality. 1. Every lens has a sweet spot; an aperture setting that delivers optimum sharpness. Generally that will be two f/numbers stopped down from the maximum aperture opening. Likely this will be f/5.6 or f/8. At wide open, the edges (peripheral) of the lens is being utilized. It as at the edges that the curve of the lens is the steepest thus abnormality creeps in. As we stop down the lens, sharpness and resolution improves. At tiny apertures, the span of depth-of-field becomes greater. However, starting at about f/16 a deficiency called diffraction begins to make itself known. Continued stopping down amplifies diffraction, now sharpness and resolution deteriorates.
