Fuji touts the advantages
of its Astia color transparency film as being very fine grained
and for having accurate reproduction of flesh tones. In my
test of film I will agree that it does a very good job of
showing skin tones without shifting the color to red (discussed
in the section on Fuji
Velvia 50).
If you are interested
in portrait photography then this would be a great film. However,
for everything else I find that Astia falls short. Everything
other than Caucasian skin will come out looking drab with
color missing. If I had never shot Fuji's Velvia line of films
then I probably would not know any better. There seems to
be something missing with the color of Astia. Most of my test
shots came out with a sick green tint. My only recommendation
for this film would be for portraiture only.
Fuji Sensia is almost
identical to Fuji Astia as it is well known to be the consumer
version of Astia.
