Anyone had any experience with Fujichrome Astia? It looks like it is pretty new and I have read nothing but great things about it except that your exposure has to be right on and...well the price (5.49 at B&H)... About to order some more film and am trying to figure out if I should stick with my velvia or try something new.

thanks!

I've used it UW and was not super impressed. Stick to Velvia in either the 50 or 100 speed. The 100 speed is great stuff with good grain and the extra speed.

From a Workshop (arizona highways), the speaker's recomendation was

Velvia - Landscapes
Provia - General Purpose
Astia - Portraiture
