So you have all the options you could ask for :) BTW, though I'm definitely a fan of Fujifilm, some of the newer Kodak slide films are also quite nice, in particular the E100G.

Have you shot color with your Leica yet? Humm? Heh. Really nice image of the shells, man. Umm, Provia also does not suffer from reciprocity failure, so you even have a color option.

So, looking forward to some color in those dull days! Love the soft, sensible colors in your beach still-life. A mixed diet is usually the best, I’d say.

I've been using Astia and Acros in my 4x5, but I'm probably going to start using Ilford Delta since Fuji is apparently discontinuing Acros in Quickloads... but I also us a digital quite a bit, mainly when I want the quick feedback or the ability to share the images quickly. :) Acros is great film though... you'll probably like it. The newest version of Velvia is also surprisingly resistant to reciprocity failure.

I'll have to try that Fuji Neopan Acros. I just went and read the specifications. I'll have to check it out! @Tom: Sounds like you want to start supporting me financially! :-)

Neither film suffers reciprocity failure until you exceed 120 seconds of exposure. Both are excellent films overall. I use Acros and Provia for all my tripod-bound long-exposure film work. Wonderful stuff. The other solution is Fuji’s Neopan Acros B&W film and Provia 100F slide film. Neither film suffers reciprocity failure until you exceed 120 seconds of exposure.
