As any of you have tried the E100S & SW films know, these are some great emulsions. I have to say, though, that the Astia is head and shoulders above the Kodak stuff. The colors are brilliant and the results overall are wonderful. Fuji brought this one out to compete directly with the saturated E100 films, and has done a bang up job. Fuji claims that their film has a finer grain than Kodak's, and this seems to be the case. The film rates accurately at 100, and gains very little from underexposure. I'd like to hear from anyone else who has used Astia, and what your impressions are. ,/8^|
