Does anyone have any practical
experience of the various Fuji slide films? I know Velvia is VERY colourful,
and I have used some Sensia 400 which I found a bit green, but what is the
comparison between Sensia and Provia, or even Astia!  The Fuji process paid
service here in UK seems good, usually 3 days and good mounts.

Gerry,

I gave up on Kodachrome when they turned the processing over to Qualex and routinely ruined half of what I sent them. Fuji is great. I love Provia 100 and 400. Astia is great for people. Velvia is wonderful when you want punchy colors. Sensia is the consumer version of professional Provia. Provia is aged and released when it matures. Sensia is meant to sit on shelves or in cameras for months. Provia is more consistent. It's hard to see the difference so you might want to save money with Sensia. I process all of my own E-6 film in a Jobo and mount it myself. I like Fuji much better than Ektachrome. You can read more about film recommendations on PhotoNet:

Have fun!
