Favorite film for medium format?

Which one is your favorite color film for medium format?

I'm pretty fond of Fuji Astia 100 for portraits, but I also like Kodak Portra 160 NC. I have a five pack of Ektar 100 that I really need to expose on my next shoot. It's supposed to be pretty darn nice too. All three of those have super tight grain and scan really well IMHO.

The Ektar I've used is alirght, very saturated colors and not something I would necessarily turn to for people/skin tones but definitely for landscape/urban discovery. The only other thing I've tried is Fuji 400H, and I can't remember being too displeased with it.

I use to use the Kodak Portra films alot for color. BW was Ilfords HP4 & HP5.

Cheap. Cold Stored. Usually expired.
Both Kodak & Fuji 160 emulsions are good. Fuji Reala is nice. Kodak Portra 400, both flavors are good. Portra 800 is great in nasty cloudy weather for the speed.
Read & listen to the test of new Kodak Portra 400 in my other thread here.
Fuji Velvia 50 is great for PUNCH.

Depends on what you are shooting

For Portraits: Kodak Portra 160NC and Fujichrome Astia 100F
For B&W: Kodak BW400CN (C41 though, so no processing @ home)
For Landscape: Fujichrome Velvia 50 or Provia 100F
