As usual at one of these things, they had rolls of competing films laid out side by side to compare. Amazing how close they all are. But as to Astia: It is almost a dead match to E100s (which is the film that caused them to create Astia). The only real differences I could see was slightly better shadow detail. Fuji people said it was also finer grain, but that was not visible. But almost more important was see their new duplicating film, CDU. Very impressive in color and also in sharpness. I didn't see that sort of muddiness of all other dupe films I've seen/used. Robert Burroughs, also here on list, was there too. Maybe he has further/different reaction. Donal Philby San Diego
