Congrats, a great camera. I've got a 645 Super with 4 lenses myself. As to B&W films, for low ISO Fuji Neopan Acros is simply wonderful in 120. And I'm partial to Ilford PanF+ as well. For fast B&W film I tend to push HP5+ or Tri-X rather than use any of the fast films, I prefer the results of the pushed traditional-grain films over the ISO1600-3200 films.
