I use Astia as my general purpose film, and I really like it. Nice skin tones, realistic colors and contrast. For punch I'll get some Provia-F or E100VS, but the Astia suits my tastes fine for everyday work. I just bought a 20 roll pack.

 This translates for me as being able to cope better with high contrast
 scenes. Velvia, and to some extent Provia, both lose shadow detail too
 easily for my liking. Having said that, I've not noticed a huge difference
 between Provia and Astia (or the amateur version of the latter, Sensia).
