In my Leica, E100S about 90% of the time, Velvia 10%.  When the light starts
to get low, the E100S is the right ticket.  Love the long exposures.  In my
Hasselblad, it's probably E100S 30%, Velvia 40%, Portra 160 5%, and Delta
100 5%.

People did a film survey a month back but it was not indicated what
people mainly shot, just films for all kinds 0f situations. I shoot
mainly black and white. My guess is the group might be spit between
color neg and black and white but come to think of it, who knows? I'd
like to know.
