Don Hutton Posted October 23, 2008 Share #5 Posted October 23, 2008 I had some sent to me by a friend who picked it up at KSP. Basically, it's extremely fine grained. I expected it to be slightly sharper - not that it isn't sharp, just that it's only slightly sharper than say Portra VC, whereas it has much finer grain. I've tried it at a variety of speeds and will most likely shoot it between 64 and 100. It's a very welcome addition IMO. Shot with a 28mm Elmarit ASPH at f5.6. This is a 4000SPI drum scan.

rob_x2004 Posted October 23, 2008 Share #6 Posted October 23, 2008 Bloody Hell:eek: I mean. Goodness there some detail in that. Welcome to the forum, Don. Can you post more images some time, general use, in different types of light? (hate the misused word 'genre', I suppose I could have said 'other than arhitectural genre'...)

garyp Posted October 24, 2008 Share #7 Posted October 24, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've ordered some as well; wonder how long before it actually ships? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
35photo Posted October 24, 2008 Share #8 Posted October 24, 2008 I just got a roll from Central Camera in Chicago. They just got it on on Monday. I look forward to see some results.... Marko Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_j Posted October 26, 2008 Share #10 Posted October 26, 2008 Hi- Kodak was giving out free samples at Photo East yesterday & I was just out shooting in a nearby state park trying to catch the last of the fall foliage. It's going quick here in lower upstate. It's supposed to be fine grained and very saturated. I'll get back when I see some results. Healthy Shooting, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
damaso Posted October 26, 2008 Share #11 Posted October 26, 2008 I just wanted to share my own experience with Ektar 100 (full disclosure Kodak is a sponsor of my long term project, the Europeans, and brought one of my images to promote Ektar). I normally shoot Tri-x but when I got an email asking if I would be interested in testing the new Ektar I said yes. I remember shooting the Ektar 25 as a teenager and thought it would be a fun exercise. So I went to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and shot a bunch of available light images of flowers since they said the colors on the film were amazing. They were indeed. This film has a color saturation much close to slide film but with the increased latitude of a negative. What impressed me most is how scannable the film is. On many of the images I did not retouching other than cropping out the excess black that my Nikon Coolscan V captured. I shot these images with my EOS 3 and an extension tube on my 85mm f1.8 lens and scanned them using the Nikon with Digital ICE (I scanned a few without ICE and the results were the same but slightly dustier). You can see more images at my blog here. Kodak was impressed enough to buy an image and I have to say having shot a lot of color neg in my earlier days the results I got far exceeded my expectations. I am also impressed that Kodak is still invested in making film and coming out with new films. This is the best argument against all those who say film is dead. Welcome, dear visitor!

echorec Posted October 27, 2008 Share #12 Posted October 27, 2008 Hi Damaso, Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures. Really looking forward to test the Ektar 100. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted October 27, 2008 Share #13 Posted October 27, 2008 Thanks for sharing Damaso Beautiful colors, as you promised I guess I'll order some more, from Freestyle, as Adorama still hasn't confirmed a shipment on my order from earlier this month Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandokan Posted October 28, 2008 Share #14 Posted October 28, 2008 As I didnt know this film, I had to look it up: In summary: Professional Ultra Colour are replaced by this film at 100 and by Portra at 400. Its grain is as fine or better than Ektachrome E100G And accordint to Kodak, E-6 processing is becoming less readily available The last point was a shocker for me. I havent seen this yet, has anyone else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted October 28, 2008 Share #15 Posted October 28, 2008 Wow! That was quick. Put the order in last night to Freestyle and got a shipped confirmation when I opened my email this morning! What in the world is Adorama doing??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyp Posted October 28, 2008 Share #16 Posted October 28, 2008 I may try Freestyle as well; seems odd that they can ship it but Ado doesn't even have it yet, nor B&H Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_livsey Posted October 29, 2008 Share #18 Posted October 29, 2008 For UK users, I asked Silverprint, 7 day shop & Calumet don't list BTW, neither does Silverprint but they will respond efficently to enquiries. Dear Chris, Unfortunately, we still don't have an ETA on the Ektar 100 film from our suppliers. Many thanks, Maria Silverprint Ltd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
svante Posted October 29, 2008 Share #19 Posted October 29, 2008 I pre-ordered at Adorama and just received a message that they are shipping my film now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
