Great choices. Ditto. I’ve heard Portra 800 is great too but haven’t tried it. Did not like the Portra 160. I did try the Kodak Pro Image 100 a couple of times which I liked too but the Ektar 100 for cloudy days and Portra 400 for sunny days are the ones I reach out to. Are you planning to try B/W film too?
I plan to experiment with Portra 800 and Fujifilm 200 films, which is said to be similar to Kodak Gold 200. While I enjoyed Fujifilm 400, I found it less suitable for portraits. I've also acquired some HP5 film for black and white shots. My idea is to use black and white film in the M2 camera and color film in the MP.

I really like Portra 800 for anything indoors. Gold 200 for almost anything as long as there is enough light, and Portra 400 for almost anything. I have some Fuji 200 that I want to try out and compare it to Gold 200. If it's the same that's a huge score since it's so cheap.

How do you like the Lomo 800? I have a few rolls that I haven’t shot with it yet-
Seems like really distinct greens on that film. What do you think its good for?
I honestly think it is great for just about everything I shoot! It's incredibly versatile, and I find that the added saturation helps with the drab PNW winters. On 135 it definitely is on the grainier side, but not overly so, and is still fantastic IMO but not the best 'landscape' film maybe. However, I think that on 120 it truly shines.
