Yes, for the wedding crowd, Fuji 160NS was an especially nice product for Asian complexions, though Kodak Portra 160 is certainly more than competent for the same subjects. Among chrome films, I utterly loved the long-gone high-speed Agfachrome 1000 for portraiture. It was relatively low
contrast and undersaturated, with a lovely distinct grain which was quite appealing. High-speed Scotchchrome was harder to tame; but I did make some nice Cibachrome portraits with that too, and something related to it might be getting revived in Italy. I even have some old 4x5 pre-E6 Agfachromes left around, a very grainy film with muted green but the most stunning warm earthtone reproduction of any slide film I've ever seen.

I certainly hope your right Drew, a nice low saturation skin tone friendly E6 film would have a unique place in the market. I mostly use Provia 100f and have used Velvia but the two are much more alike than different when placed in the broad spectrum of currently available colour films.
