Fuji NPH.  400 speed for flexibility.  Low contrast to retain detail in 
whites and blacks and to avoid overly sharp rendering of facial 
features.  Prints beautifully (use a pro lab).  Good colour.  Expensive 
though.

Fuji Reala.  100 speed - fine with Leica's faster lenses and reasonable 
light or up close flash.  Stunning detail rendition and excellent 
colour.  Prints beautifully.  Sharp as.

Faster film?  Use a Leica M and it isn't necessary.

Have fun!

Rick.
