Kodak 6031330 Professional Ektar 100/36 Colour Negative Film

Product Information

The only further thing to note here for the image quality and qualities is that the six shots below were taken in the Yashica Electro 35 GSN rangefinder. I am very proud of this work, it’s taken me a few visits to choose the right weather for these and hopefully, you will enjoy the results. As a resident of this small city I’m proud to show you Lincoln with a tint of modernism. It’s certainly more saturated than the Portra 400 I shot, and less saturated and better with skin tones than the Ektar 100. Greens and reds are strong, yet it’s good for shooting people with, and the ISO 100 rating means you can expect lower levels of grain too. Additionally, while Ektar is a truly analog experience, it was created in an era in which digital is inarguably king. As such, special care was paid by Kodak to create a film that’s highly scannable, and the final scanned images are exceptionally rich. Shots from Ektar film are smooth and clean. Detail is amazing. Sharpness is only limited by your lens. If you want brilliant, silky shots, Ektar is it.

Kodak Professional Ektar 100 from CameraWorld

Theres no doubt that Ektar is some of the finest grain film in the world. It’s 100 ISO and rich colors help make the grain so smooth. Almost every shot I have taken on Ektar has turned out incredibly clear with only a little bit of grain showing up in the darker scenes. While I do love grit and grain in my photography, Ektar has such a beautiful character to it I can’t help but fall in love. Versatile If you don’t think there’s enough light to fully expose your ISO 100 film, Ektar is better to be left at home. Or pushed in development. Colours are what Ektar is known for, so the warm light of an early spring evening seemed like a good opportunity to shoot a roll. We weren’t disappointed. It captured equally well the richness in the pink of the blossoms, as well as bright blue skies, and the range of tones in between. Strong Vivid Colours So much depends on the camera, plus how it is shot, developed and scanned or printed. One film can vary wildly. The bottom line for me is you get all that image quality in a colour negative film that can be developed anywhere using the common C-41 process and for not too bad a price.If we are to trust those measurements, there should be no grain visible on 4x6” prints made from 135-size Ektar rolls; 8x10” prints will show no grain when made from medium format Ektar rolls, and there will be no grain on 16x20” prints made from large format sheets. Or, more concisely: the grain is imperceptible at 8x magnification and less. Through our years of testing Kodak Ektar it has been used with the Canon EOS 1V, Canon 35mm f1.4 L USM, Canon 24-105mm f4 L IS, various flashes, and the Mamiya RB67 Pro S coupled with the 90mm f3.8 lens. Ease of Use Now this session was done with the Mamiya RB67 Pro s and the film is expired 10 years. A flash is in a modifier camera right. Considering this, the film has held its own very well. And if you find that your scanning tends to leave certain films with a hint of blue, expect more of that with Ektar. The Kodak Pro Image 100 story is less murky than some and there’s no real confusion over what it is, although there is a reason why it might feel like a new film to you – depending on where you live – when it really isn’t. The main thing to report though is that it’s a pretty good film and that we do have it to shoot.

First Impressions: Kodak Ektar 100 Review - The Analogue

Ektar 100 is part of Kodak’s professional range of colour films. In comparison to the ever-popular Portra, Ektar can sometimes be overlooked. We’ve shot it before in medium format but wanted to test out the grain in 35mm. So, for our Kodak Ektar film review, we put a roll in our Contax G2 and took it around Denmark Hill. These two images were shot at different locations, but both were shot during golden hour. As you can see, there is a clear difference in saturation levels and the image shot with Ektar 100 has an impressive color pop throughout the entire image. What’s especially noticeable is the difference in the orange tones between the two images. The first thing that needs to be said as we wrap up this Pro Image 100 review is a big thank you to Kodak for bringing it to the European and North American markets so that more people can more easily get their hands on some and try it out for themselves.Ektar” was used to label film on two separate occasions. First, it was a line of “ semi-pro ” C-41 emulsions sold in a variety of speeds — from ISO 25 to 1,000. But it was discontinued in 1997 for poor commercial performance. For what Pro Image 100 is and how much it costs, I really like what it gave me and would definitely recommend you shoot some if you haven’t before. Holga N with Ektar 100 underexposed 2 and pushed +2 at development. Full sun, Whidbey island, May 2018. If you know how to use this film well, it will create lovely results. This premium emulsion is designed to develop sharp, virtually grainless images with lots of contrast and saturation . Ektar may not be suitable for portraiture if you expect harsh shadows or difficulties controlling light.
