Have you used any of the Fuji NPx stuff? It seems to be about a 1/2 stop faster...skin tones and contrast are good, as you would expect from a portrait film, though I suspect the color balance has quite a bit to do with the paper it's printed on. Portra is useless on anything other than Kodak paper. There's a built-in color shift. NPZ kicks mucho ass. tv
