Well, after reading a lot of reviews I find the whole situation confusing! So, as a starter for 10 I have gone for a roll of Ilford HP5+ (400 asa) and a roll of Kodak Gold (200 asa) I'll shoot them both through the FE which has been fully serviced and then maybe a roll of Fuji film colour & B&W and see which I prefer......
You may find the HP5 a bit grainier than 400 ISO on your DSLR. But I used it for action and got some nice results.
You could also try XP2 ….which is a BW film using C41 colour chemistry…..I found that gave less grain than XP5.
Fuji Velvia was the saturated 50asa beast but tended to be greenish. I used Provia 100asa in preference.
Whatever happened to Konica ? That was a nice 100asa colour film with a slight blue shift.
