I've shot a couple of rolls of Astia (actually it was on sale because it expired) and I loved it. Has many of the same qualities as Velvia. I bought more expired film for my upcoming trip to PEI. It's been in the fridge all along so I'm not the least bit worried about it.... Vic - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
