So it looks like in most case Portra wins, It would have been my choice also. I shot a lot of it on my last world trip, it seemed to be the most widely available pro-film.

Usually Kodak Gold 200. If I'm planning anything special for the family pictures, I will shoot Portra 160NC.

Hi Rob, Usually I shot in situations like that using either the Supra 400/800 (according to the available light) or the Portra 160/400. I prefer the Portras when I plan to do enlargements of 20x30cm and over. My father shots with the Supra 800 almost all the time and is happy with the results, even with enlargements of 30x40cm. He uses slow zoom lenses, though. Ciao, Gianfranco = Send your FREE holiday greetings online! http://greetings.yahoo.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: MZ-S and AF360FGZ musings
Some others have commented on also getting good results with the AF280T ...I too have used that but you must see the difference with the AF360 to truly appreciate how well the matrix metering with the pre-flash work. As Bill mentioned, it does a great job of intergrating flash and ambient light and and even though I have been using TTL flash for a long time, (LX and SuperProgram) I have never had such good results previously.

The AF500FTZ gives me those results on my PZ-1p. Makes shooting family get togethers a breeze.

Re: MZ-S and AF360FGZ musings
I had similar success with my MZ-S and AF-280T flash at my family's Christmas gathering. I did a lot of bounce flash off of the ceiling and the results were terrific! An off-camera mount and contrast control would probably yield even better results Happy New Year, everyone! --Mark --- Bill Wrote -- At a New Year's eve get together I mounted the AF360 on the MZ-S and used the system as a glorified P&S.
