I think the grain pattern of the 800 will be a better match for the older designed lenses.
They weren't designed with these newer films in mind so the results could be mixed.
Ok, now I'm more curious
Lenses are designed for a certain type of film grain pattern? I wonder how?
Also, how do we know that the 800 film that are produced nowadays hasn't undergone major changes in the formula since the 70's?
Especially I think you mentioned the 800 Max which is Kodak's consumer line. I imagine they are not in so much pressure to keep or announce the changes in the formulas unlike their "pro" stuff.

Yes, at some point I want to get the 3T and 4T diopters for 52mm, no hurry though, so I'll probably look for them at camera shows or somewhere.
On the film, it's what I have. I might mix some Reala in the mix and some Superia 400.

That leaves a lot of territory open to the imagination with many varied subject options.
I don't know if it's appropriate, or if you have the time to inquire, but there is a visual arts education center on the South end of Whidby island with a large schedule of workshops in the area and on other islands.
It may be a good place to check on equipment choices for various subjects in the areas of Hood Canal and The San Juan islands. I have been on Whidby and a couple more of the islands and find the subject options extremely varied. If I were to spend much time there, I would travel by personal vehicle and take every piece of equipment I own.
