I've only had good results with Ektar in 'good' light. Once the sun starts to drop, it just doesn't work well for me.
Agreed 100%, gets muddy quick. The alley shot is one of the few without good light that turned out ok, but I had to overexpose, which there isn't a bunch of room for at ISO 100

That's exactly what happens! And if I overexpose, it just looks washed out and not in a cool high key way.
I shot one roll recently because it had been a long time since I used it, and won't be doing that again unless I'm only using it in "good" light. Which pretty much means I won't as I like my film to be more flexible than that.
Thanks for sharing your very inspiring halfframe-shots, Huss, it was a reminder to call a Olympus-repairman over here.
My Pen PT will see some service too.
Now these are cool. I frequently consider a half-frame camera for this kind of day trip type photography. Any good options that are under $100 or so, maybe a P&S?

Check out the original Olympus Pen and the Pen S. All manual, tiny size, sharp lens. I got my mint condition original Pen for $120 on Ebay and I love it. I've posted a few shots from it here in the last month or so.

Agat18K, about $30. Looks/feels like a plastic toy but is surprisingly good! And tiny.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I didn't know that the Pen's were all half-frame, I wish I'd actually investigated the ones I've seen for sale at my local store a little more. I'll poke around eBay a bit, see what happens.

Second the recommendation for the Pen S. I have the 3cm f/2.8 version, and I was surprised how much fine detail the lens could resolve. This was developed and scanned by Richard Photo Lab, and you can click over to Flickr to embiggen.
