It does have wonderful latitude Bill, but underexpose past about 1-2
stops and the result is normally different (not necessarily bad) from
what you might have expected from your photo. It was just an idea on
my part...

Although I did mention Astia and Sensia, my first suggestion, and the one I
would try first myself, is Portra 160NC, a negative film.
Beware underexposing negative films. Kodak's, especially, are rated very
generously. Although the full stop overexposure we used to give VPS isn't
necessary, a bit extra won't help. With the portra films, I bias my
exposures to the shadows, as the highlights don't block up, like on chromes.
I would be quite surprised if your problem was due to under exposure, as
modern negative films have quite wide latitude.
