I like the results from the Aurora 800, the plastic cassette gave me some trouble. It needed some assistance to drop into the M4-2 and for some reason, the leader kept slipping out of the tulip. The camera is still loaded with it and I have a couple of more rolls. It's been a fun experiment and recomended if you need a high speed color film.
One more roll to scan, so more images coming.
I've had similar experiences with most of the Flic Film cannisters, not just Aurora: the cannisters themselves seem slightly bulkier than others and it's a very snug fit in my Leica in particular. And there's quite a bit of resistance as you wind on the film so I've also had to load the film a couple of times to get the leader to stay in the tulip. They seem to try to be generous with quantity: I almost always get at least 40 shots per roll instead of 36, but I guess that means they wind it more tightly and it doesn't unroll as freely.
For those reasons I tend to use Flic Film films in my Canon P or my Minolta, rather than my Leica.
I have three rolls of Aurora 800 left and want to finish them before winter comes, as I don't shoot much colour film in winter.
