If you read Fuji's Sensia propaganda, they use the same language about accurate skin tones, etc., as they do for Astia. Astia supposedly has slightly less grain, but my bet is that they're basically the same film. I've used and occasionally still use Sensia. Good, saturated (but not lurid) colors, decent skin tones for chrome film, insignificant grain. All in all, nice stuff for short money. One of these days I'm going to try a couple of rolls of Provia 100F, but first I want to fool around with Neopan 400. rs ______________________________________ www.robertschneider.com www.schneiderpix.com On May 28, 2006, at 6:14 PM, Jeffery Smith wrote: > I am most smitten with Provia.
