I like Astia film for color and TMax 100 for B&W. I use the 100/2.8 or the 60/2.8 on the R6.2 or 8 - no filters for most but a stocking for older ladies. A reflector to the side fills in the light on the side of the face away from the window. I have a collapsible white one that reverses to gold for warmer light.
