damaso Posted June 19, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 19, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Here are some more images taken with Ektar 100 at the New York Botanic Gardens. Full disclosure: Kodak brought one of my earlier Ektar images and is using in in their advertising campaign. They also donate film for an ongoing long term project.

semrich Posted June 20, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 20, 2009 Makes me want to go out and buy some, except I can't seem to find it where I live yet. Note to myself place order with B&H so I have some when I visit the States next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted June 20, 2009 Share #3 Posted June 20, 2009 Nice images Are these with the 90 Macro setup? I've been happy with the Ektar, too; find the colors very appealing and much more natural than the UC100 Welcome, dear visitor!

kenneth Posted June 20, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 20, 2009 I find Kodachrome much more natural colourwise. Kodachrome II 25asa rated at 45 if you can find any failing that Kodachrome 64 rated at 80 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenneth Posted June 21, 2009 Share #6 Posted June 21, 2009 Sorry, which film is this? and what is it rated as? I appreciate scanned images can never be as good as the projected slide which is one of the reasons why I don't scan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I can only reiterate what I said before: I find Kodachrome much more natural colourwise. Kodachrome II 25asa is unmistakably superior to Kodachrome 64 but harder to find these days. I have just looked at the link you included. I hadn't realised that Ektar 100 was a Colour Negative film. That explains it. Sorry not my thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill Posted June 22, 2009 Share #10 Posted June 22, 2009 Damaso, some beautiful images here, but guys, I don't think that you can reasonably get into a colour contest based on what you can see on a monitor... Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that the film was horrible.I wasn't that impressed either but I thought it maybe had something to do with monitor resolution. Anyway I haven't the energy to contemplate that with the really sad news about Kodachrome. I grew up with that film and by and large, have been totally loyal to it.

andybarton Posted June 22, 2009 Share #16 Posted June 22, 2009 Dwaynes is the only place on the planet that processes Kodachrome today. They won't do 35 year old film either... Kenneth - you really should have had that stuff processed by now! The images of the buds above all have a strange pink caste to them, on my calibrated monitor.

Nando Posted June 24, 2009 Share #18 Posted June 24, 2009 I very much like the new Ektar 100. I personally preferred print film over slides for its more forgiving nature. Most of my cameras don't have meters and I appreciate the extra latitude. It's going to be my fair-weather colour film once my stock of Reala runs out. Here's a photo of my mother taken with Ektar 100. (MP and 50 Summilux-M ASPH) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
