I find that just about anything Fuji makes in the color slide line with ISOs up to 400 are great. Provia 100 might be a good roll to try. Provia 400f is what I use when shooting with long lenses. I've also been happy with Astia 100. Robert Stevens has gotten some very nice images with skin in them using Kodak Elite. I guess I'm saying that there are so many good ones out there, it's getting pretty hard to go wrong. Try a roll of Provia 400f...it's a real treat.
