Astia is a slide film which doesn't utterly suck for portraiture. That doesn't make it a good choice, just one of the least bad. Stick with Colour Negative when shooting people. My choices are: 1. Portra 160 (Pick VC or NC based on personal preference, I like VC better than NC personally) 2. Either Provia 100F or Velvia 50. Portra 160VC is also pretty good but I prefer slide for landscape. If you need a single film to do everything it's Portra 160VC. Great skin tones and enough saturation & contrast to pull off landscape work. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
