Outdated Astia is somewhat prone to highlight crossover and overall blandness, especially the acetate variety prior to the polyester sheet Astia 100F version. I kept the last of that frozen nearly 20 yrs, and then sold it to another 8x10 photographer, and it has performed perfectly for him. The problem with 120 roll version is that Astia wasn't all that popular, and was often already getting old when bought, with disappointing results. But nearly all my own work involved 4X5 and 8x10 sheets, which tended to be more carefully-cool stored before selling.
I used a lot of it in the lab to make precision duplicate chromes - Astia 100F did it better than any other film, even their own line of official CDU duplicating films, which was basically just tungsten-balanced earlier Astia. But in general, the Astia lineup had the most hue neutrality and correctness of any chrome film ever. Sad to see it gone. But everyone like the highly saturated look instead, which has really gone over the top now, all jam and jelly atop sugar cubes, in terms of the ease of PS hyper-saturation.
