Again as in a previous post yesterday, I suggest that you try Astia. It's very
nicely balanced for all types of subjects, has a moderate contrast, renders
skin tones well, and has exceedingly fine grain. It doesn't push well though.
Velvia is a little too punchy for me.
Suggest you take some 400-speed as an alternative.
The Stylus is fine for slides, but you can't fit a polarizer on it for senics.
