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. -- Pics @ http://www.adrenaline.com/snaps Leica M6TTL, Bessa R, Nikon FM3a, Nikon D70, Rollei AFM35 (Jihad Sigint NSA FBI Patriot Act) _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
