I just created a gallery that contains mainly Mamiya 7II photos... Click here to go to my "India" RF Forum Gallery. Eventually I'll add some of the 35mm people stuff I shot with my Leica M6, but for now it's all Mamiya 7II except for one.

They're absolutely beautiful images Jan.
I'm very impressed with the neutral colours, do you use a particular UV filter, no filter?
What speed do you rate the Ektachrome at? it looks like your going for a little bit more exposure than many people use and it looks great.
With the shot taken at night, how did you meter the scene and did you use a tripod or a monopod?
Thanks very much, Matt.

Thanks guys, I'll try to get some more up!
I just shoot it at 200, metering off something medium to dark gray, using the in-camera meter. No tripod on any of these, on the night shots I used the self timer and put it down on something reasonably flat and elevated. I did carry a lightweight tripod (Velbon carmagne 540 with an Acratech ballhead) which I used exactly twice. For more than 4sec I set it down, hold it down with my left hand, and lightly push the shutter with my right. I like watches with a large clearly visible second hand. The night shot from Varanasi is actually a vertical crop, while the original is good in a 16x20ish print, the main action in this shot is a little too small to view online, so tends to disappear. E200 really handles mixed lighting excellently, is pushable to 800 according to Kodak (although I never really tried this), has good latitude, and good (shadow) speed. Between the film and a scan it's pretty easy to color correct. (It would be easy in a wet print, too, I think, and the film should be a nice match for ciba/ilfochrome even without masking.) This is why for travel I like to load up my bag with it in 220, it really handles almost anything. A tad grainy, but nothing that shows at 16x20ish (from 6x7, clearly 35mm is more limited). The grain shows up mainly as yellow speckles in the blue channel when scanned; but most printers and papers have limited yellow gamuts, so it shows more when scanned and viewed on screen than in print. As you may surmise from this tirade I really like this film. A super color portrait film, too!

Can't see anything in the galleries. Haven't been able to today. Something to do with my settings? I'm only getting 'gallery is currently offline...'

Oh, I guess it's the gallery migration thing. But how are you people seeing the pictures in Jan's gallery?

I think it's the hotlink that's the problem, you might just need to put a new one in Jan.
