its expensive.

Actually everything is expensive in england.

Provia = 8.30
Elite = 5.99
Sensia = 6.49

all in pounds x 1.65 for US prices!!!

I use Fuji Provia almost exclusively, though Sensia seems just about as good.
My few experiences with Kodak Elite have been that despite an unexpired date,
some rolls still come up grainy (as if the film were old), and I hate looking
at grainy stereo pairs. Never had this happen with Fuji. However, a good roll
of Elite certainly has truer colors; Fuji film tends to exaggerate colors a
bit.
