Re: Fuji


I think I actually prefer the short-dated Sensia; it's fully mature and seems
to give a more mellow tone than the stuff that has a year or more before
expiration. Most of the time I use Provia and save as much as I can by buying
it mailorder in groups of 10 rolls or so. Velvia seems too intense to me, but
it's a personal choice.
