It looks like the Sensia is a non-professional equivalent of the Astia. Can anyone confirm this? These are my chrome films of choice. Well, I do use Velvia when the light is good. I can get them processed in two hours at a local shop. I have two 16x20 prints made from Astia slides(shot with 50mm/f2 Summicron-M) and they look good. It's too bad that Fuji does not make the Sensia in a 20 rolls pack like the Astia.
