Everybody, Thanks for the fast and useful replies on the Astia vs Provia issue. It sounds like this is the stuff I should have been trying instead of Provia. I take particular interest in these issues, culled from the various replies: >contrast levels are slightly lower >the color palate is a little less saturated >about as neutral as you can get on a slide film these days These address some of my primary concerns with the results I get from the Provia. I'll be eager to see what it looks like for myself. Anybody want to take a few rolls of very fresh Provia off of my hands?? Next topic: What about processing? Is anyone using the Fuji lab in Arizona? That's where I've been sending all my Fuji film to. I figure they're supposed to know how to do their own film, right? Custom labs certainly may do good work too, but the economy of the mailer is a huge consideration. That's what's always kept me away from the few custom labs that process The Film Which Shall Not Be Mentioned <g>. The last time I tried a custom lab for that was back when The NewLab was still doing K14. Are they even still around? Again, thanks for the feedback, I'm sure I'll be trying the Astia soon.
