I find Astia particularly good. My favorite though remains E100SW, although the new E100VS is great, especially compared to Velvia. Its slightly less contrasty, the blue skies don't get overdone, and it is a real 100 film versus Velvia which is really somewhere between a ISO 32 and 40.

When more speed is needed, I have been using Fuji Provia 100. I am wondering about Fuji Astia 100. Does anyone know what is the difference between these two films in terms of colour rendition, sharpness and contrast?
