Hi John,

Thanks for the detailed answer.

I've never tried Astia or even considered it. Is it as sharp as Provia?

Very slightly less. See the second posting from yesterday with the additional comparison to Kodak's films; it also contained a comparison of Provia vs. Astia for acutance (perceived sharpness):

On the topic of acutance, Provia 100F looks better than Astia's, but not by much (alas, Kodak doesn't provide these numbers, so it's pure interpretation of the MTF curves):
         1.6:1        1000:1
Astia   55 lp/mm     135 lp/mm
Provia  60 lp/mm     140 lp/mm
