<p>Thanks guys. I'll stick with the Portra this time around but i'll probably shoot some tests with a couple of rolls of Ektar for future reference.</p>

<p>I'm travelling to Southern Europe this summer and i'm planning to shoot a mix of landscapes and portraits - in both 35mm and 120 - for a college project. I'd like to keep the 35mm as fine-grained as possible so as to potentially mix it with the 120 (at a print size of about 11x14"). At the moment i'm sort of torn between Kodak Ektar 100 and Portra 160. I've shot Portra 160 on medium format in the past and i've always found it to be a very impressive film, is it worth going the extra yard for Ektar? Lighting levels won't be an issue as i'll be under intense sunshine, with the possibility of some use of flash indoors.</p>

<p>Okay, cheers.</p>

<p>Hi all, just a quick question.. Some time back I bought a plain prism Pentax 67 and tested it out by shooting a few rolls. The camera functioned perfectly well, delivering good results, the battery check lamp was lighting up, etc. Having not used the camera for five or six months, I shot another few rolls recently, only discovering towards the end of the last roll that the battery check lamp was not lighting up. The mirror didn't do it's precautionary lock-up which I'm led to believe is the 67's way of telling you to buy a new battery. So, can the 67's shutter continue to perform when the battery is low/dead, or are the few rolls I just shot completely blank?? Any pointers much appreciated.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks Allan.</p>
