Uh, Astia is a chrome film......not neg whcih is what Mark was looking for.

Over the past few months I have been looking into different films and 
I have decided I really like the new Kodak Portra family and have 
been using the NC.  I got tired of the color cross overs on the Fuji 
stuff....always seemed to be too green while keeping slight magenta 
cast.

Film is a personal choice and every person here probably has their 
favorites, almost as bad as which lens is best or which scotch to 
drink.  Best thing to do is go buy some shoot it and see which you 
like.
