Call me a horses rear, but I bought Astia film off of ebay mainly because it had an expiry date of May 2005 and I needed a large volume of it. The company (FILMCLUB) from ebay is pushing 20 packs of this for about 40.00
I stupidly assumed that because the expiry was only 1 year away (usually film I buy has a 2 year life), that it was just 1 year old film.
James Tu and myself have both found color shift problems indicitave of expired film. I developed 10 rolls and every one of them is bad. I have thrown the rest away.
The catch on this one is that when the box arrives, it has a photo copied sticker with fuji's logo on it. Immediately I knew something was up.
Hopefully my stupidity will save you wasting money. Stay away from film club. This is a scam pure and simple.
