I like that film alot too. I wish it were available in 4X5, but E100G with an 81B filter is similar.
On the scan, it seems a bit blue through the neutrals. E100G also goes a bit blue on me in the scan. I try to correct it in the scan software and if necessary with a selective colors adjustment in Photoshop. The polarizer effect is again strong in this shot.
I think you\'re right, it\'s touch blue. Ektachromes seem to be generally a bit biased toward blue, and I think the Nikon scanner accentuates this somewhat. The mid-day sun here is a bit bluish to being with (one of the reasons for using the slightly warn 100GX.). When I get around to printing this image I\'ll correct it. I\'ve been meaning to profile the LS-8000 in Vuescan, I just haven\'t got around to it. I\'ve got a couple of images waiting that I just can\'t get the colors right.
I find on my Epson that I get a touch of blue on Kodak E-6 films and a touch of magenta on Fuji Provia and Velvia. I suspect this tint is coming from the base in some way. Astia is an odd ball and it seems I need to handle it on a shot by shot basis.
