I have to sell one of my LX...so here it goes.
This one is in really excellent condition AND it has been

I'll include the french invoice from the FNAC for the CLA.

Provia is more neutral, lower in contrast and finer-grained.
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
