Velvia for low-contrast, overcast light. Not for people-pictures. Elite-II 100 for general purpose when the speed is required, and wildlife...pushes very nicely to 200 (I use Kodak in NJ with the ESP-1 envelopes). I compared it to E100S and SW...it's right in the middle balance- wise and just as sharp. Nothing I have been able to see has convinced me it's worth paying double for the E100 emulsion. Elite-II 400 for low-light, sports, other emergencies. The 1-stop push works well with this film too but don't expect it to look like 100. Agfa RSX-100 for portraits. Slightly more saturated than EPN but just as neutral I found Astia a tad cool for my liking. Agfa Scala (B&W)...try some for a change of pace.
