Nice selection of liked films!  (But I am unfamiliar with the two you mentioned after the Rollei)  

've been curious about the Super Positive ISO 0.8 for a while, but have yet to try it.  None of my cameras go lower than ISO 25, so I know I would have to adjust 5 stops after metering.  I simply need to think of some good well lit subjects to try it on before buying a roll.

As for your dislikes, the Portra 800 really needs a lot of light.  Not my favorite, but when I do use it I expose it two stops (set the camera at 200) which helps a bit, and it seems a little less warm.

 The Kentmere I've tried twice, and have not been happy with the 120 or 35mm.  

Personally, I've never been a fan of many of the Fuji film stocks... too green.  But I have not tried any of them since Kodak took over the Fuji line.  Maybe they are better now?

I ran across Aginuui ISO 400 and Kcmssertkir ISO 100 black and white films and thought the same thing--"Say what??"--so I bought some. If I remember I sourced the Aginuui from B&H and the Kcmssertkir from Amazon or vice versa. They weren't terrible. Both emulsions were shot with the same camera/lens, a Pentax K2 with 50mm f1.4. And yes, CANON is our focus. On a side note, the Canon FP I got worked perfectly without a lens. Put on a lens and the camera's internal mechanism isn't strong enough top reopen the aperture and lower the mirror. Keep shopping. I'd love a Canonflex with the black pentaprism.
