About this deal

This makes it a contemporary of the likes of Portra and Ektachrome rather than the Kodak consumer films like ColorPlus or Gold 200. But after a day or so my man and I decided on a last minute trip to Karpathos (a Greek island in the Aegean Sea) since the Dutch summer wasn’t really taking off properly. Automatic corrections in scanners and software also don't tend to do the best job with Ektar's unique colour formulation. After hiking in the woods of Ralph Stover, with its palette of heavy greens and subtle reds, I decided to test my new film in different settings.

This is wise for film in general but you won't get the same results with cheaper consumer film like Fuji Superia or Kodak Gold. I rated Ektar at box speed or EI 100 (after reading this and this), and I rated Portra 400 at EI 100 too. Since Ektar picks up extra contrast in the shadows, I would avoid using it for scenes with lots of busy, dim details. In reality, this is a tad misleading because it does not give this emulsion enough credit for it’s exposure latitude. Although they are different churches, the photos were taken at a very similar hour, and in the same direction.These two images were shot in the small town of Silverton, Oregon where we stayed during the Tulip Festival. Kodak Ektar 120 Film is a professional-grade medium format colour film that delivers exceptional sharpness, vibrant colours, and fine grain. A new film was introduced in September 2008 under the name Kodak EKTAR 100, which claims to be the finest-grain color negative film with high saturation and vivid colors available on the market.

Plenty of light in this shot; I had no trouble scanning it and there are no colour corrections applied to this image. however sometimes you may want a cleaner look and Ektar is one of the best candidates when it comes to that. I will still use the different Portra's from time to time as conditions dictate, but Ektar is my go to film for the foreseeable future. I heard that February is a gloomy month in France, so I'm leaning more toward embracing the desaturated tones of Portra 400. Eventually I found my way to Cinestill, and was hooked on their films’ unique qualities for another month or so.This color negative film (C-41 process) was available in 25, 100, 400, and 1000 ISO, and was marketed as a semi-professional, fine-grain, ultra-saturated color film suitable for product photography, landscapes, and studio work. By doing this, I was able to make sure the shadows were properly exposed while being confident that Kodak Ektar 100 could handle the overexposed highlights in the sky. Due to its vivid colours, Ektar film will work very well for nature, travel and outdoor photography.
