Kodak 6031330 Professional Ektar 100/36 Colour Negative Film

Product Information

But if you do want those colours, sharpness, and world’s finest grain for everything else, and do your thing somewhere with ISO 100 friendly light levels, Ektar is more than worth a shot.

In contrast to the branding from other lens-makers, Kodak emphasized that the name was a quality mark rather than referring to any particular optical formula. I love using Ektar too, great fine color film, but I usually don’t get such saturated results, the color balance is generally very good and subtle on all tones. Of course, that same property could be used to deliberately enhance certain visual elements in your photographs. It’s only available as an 100 ISO film (keeps that pesky market unsegmented), but it comes in multiple formats – 35mm, 120 medium format, and in 4×5 and 8×10 sheets. It includes storage advice, exposure guides for shooting under different light sources, and a few curve charts that I don’t think I’ll ever need to know what they mean.Ektar lives in a world between two films: Professional negative film like Portra and slide film like Ektachrome. I eventually sought an affordable, professional quality film with the characteristics I love – fine grain, saturated colors. The photos were taken with a very old manual camera (Pentax KX from the 70s) so they don't look as sharp and contrast (due to the old lens).

You will read a lot about how you should expose Ektar for the highlights, much like with slide film. As if intended for nature photography, you'll see as I progress through this review, that this is one of its strong points. Understand how it works, build your own practical experiment, and learn everything there is to know about how it affects light. And if you find that your scanning tends to leave certain films with a hint of blue, expect more of that with Ektar. Similarly to Fuji the advent of digital photography at the turn of the century caused significant financial problems.Saying that, we would say skin tones on Ektar are still miles ahead of skin tones from most digital sensors! Ive also recently (thanks to Negative Feedbacks "cheap film comparison" - check youtube) tried some Kodak ColorPlus 200 (at 100 again) and that stuff is lovely, but a bit more expensive than Agfa Vista.

There is a new "trend" perpetuated by professional bloggers like Johnny Patience but all their posts indicate is a lack of experience and knowledge about shooting film. It was manufactured in 25, 100 (replaced the poor selling 125 in June 1991 [4]), and 1000 ISO formats.com/sweet-city-bruges/, there is a mix between Portra and digital files, but I do like the portra shots here very much. Films were still cheap and I checked what other photographers at that time recommended and I bought 2 rolls each of Ektar 100 and Velvia 50.

I set my incident meter to 400 and stick it in the shadow to get a quick reading and then shoot from there. At Ag we have a very tightly controlled C41 processing line that will deliver superb results from Kodak Ektar.Shadow recovery is also less impressive than films like Portra 160, so be aware of this when shooting.
