Subject: [Leica] Any Sensia shooting here on the LUG?

I am most smitten with Provia. I think that Sensia may be the amateur
version of Provia. If that's the case, go with it! I bought some short-dated
relabeled Provia through B&H Photo. Came out fine. And Provia converts to
grayscale very nicely.

So, on my rather long hiatus from souping my own B&W film,
I've been running through  various color and slide film in my
fridge: XP2, NPH, some Velvia 50, a little Provia 100.

So now I need to order some new film.

Never having shot slides much before, I'm kinda getting a kick out of that,
so I'm thinking of trying out some Fuji Sensia 100. From what I read it has
a relatively new fine grain emulsion and less saturated colors akin to
Astia.  Finally, the imported price is right from B&H, and Fuji processing
mailers are less than $5.

Any Sensi (or maybe Astia) shooters here on the list that can give some
feedback on strengths/weaknesses of this slide film?

How long might Sensia last in dark storage (like an archive box)?

Any scanning experience with this film?

Thanks much!

Scott

p.s.  I found my little Sekonic meter!  At a neighbors, and I have no idea
how it got there. Yipee,  saves me $150 on a new DigiSix.
