[Leica] IMG: Juana

Thanks, Alastair.  Yes, the Fuji Astia film is the best film I ever found
for people.  It's a lot like Agfa but was always more available, cheaper
and easier to process in my Jobo.  Provia wasn't bad for general
photography and Velvia was for over-the-top landscapes, but Astia was
always my go-to film for people - less saturated and softer.
