Kodak 6031330 Professional Ektar 100/36 Colour Negative Film

One of the best films on the market! Love the effect.

Delivery was quick great film using very low shutter speeds confident it will produce great negatives

Long time since I last used 35mm film. Easy to load, easy to take. Colour tones excellent.

Bought this film at a great price back in December when I was about to buy my go to film, Gold. I knew very little about ektar at the time but after reading the reviews that praised the warm tones and find grain I was completely sold. I can confirm that the film is practically grainless, even beating than portra in the grain department. The tones are indeed very warm, especially the oranges and reds. Unfortunately these tones are so prominent that they will render skin tones with a red hue, which is quite unpleasant. A great landscape film without question and a good option if you don't want to pay the premium for slide film. I will happily shoot ektar again.

Personally, I LOVE grain in my film pictures but having a very smooth grain option is cool. Kodak Ektar is so smooth it gives the fine detail look of digital while maintaining the otherworldliness of film. As a low speed 100 ISO it works well in all kinds of light but I would still recommend saving it for sunny days as it can really bring out the blue of the sky while giving high color saturation. Check out my examples below. Most certainly a film to take on holiday to capture scenery or epic moments.

Good . Nice photos

This is a very sharp negative colour film. Not suitable for skin colours - that's what Portra is for. It also does not have the latitude of other negative films, so needs exact exposure, a bit like slide film. But it has just a bit more dynamic range than slide film has. It does not suffer from a colour cast, it has become my to-go film (with Portra in another camera).

Did the job

Je recommande Bon rendu

Excellent

ISO100のフィルムはこのEktar100を常備するようにしています。 人物写真を撮ると健康的な肌色、風景を写すと目を見張る鮮やかな発色。 今まで、鮮やかに撮りたい時はなるべくポジフィルムを使うようにしていましたが、いかんせんポジはフィルム自体も高い(1000円程度)し現像代も高いしスキャンもネガより高額でした。 そのうえ露出はシビアで失敗しやすい(腕が足りないもので)。 しかしこのフィルムはネガフィルムですから、広いラティチュードが多少の露出のミスも救済してくれますし、 それでいてまるでポジフィルムのよう鮮やかさ・きめ細やかさを持っています。 もちろんネガフィルムとして安い部類に入るフィルム(富士の記録用：36EXPで350円とか)ではありませんが、600-700円でネガの使いやすさとポジに匹敵するような画質を得られます。 人物写真でPRO160Cを使う時もありますが、基本的にはこのフィルムでOK！ 気を付けるべき点としては、トイカメラに入れたときにISO100のこのフィルムだと露出アンダーになる可能性が高い事です(特に室内)。 しかしこれはISO100である以上仕方ない。 ポジフィルムのように光にかざした時に見える美しいポジ像に見惚れることはできませんが、綺麗な写真を撮るのにこのフィルムは使いやすいと思います。

Ektar 100 is among the best 35mm films available today. It is a very fine grained film which produces super sharp images. I love the deep color saturation and contrast as well. I disagree with the review that states that Ektar doesn't do well at night as I use it pretty routinely for night photos with great results. I don't consider Reala to be in the same class as Ektar. I also find it very forgiving as I have exposed it at ASA 400 and still got acceptable results. The colors went super-saturated though. This film is great for strobist work and product shots due to it's sharpness. I think it is great for portraits as well even though you probably would benefit from softening the sharpness down some. I've compared results to a D7000, D300 and other digital cameras and they still aren't on par with Ektar. I also appreciate how flat it lays on my Epson V700 scanner; very well behaved! I use this film a lot on several different film cameras and lens combinations. I have several examples on my flickr page: username "greauxe" then search for "ektar" from my photostream

Volendo testare la vecchia Leica del '55 di mio nonno, dopo un primo esperimento con un vecchio rullino che avevo in casa da anni e anni (ormai scaduto, e infatti non è venuto fuori praticamente nulla) ho deciso di puntare in alto prendendo un Ektar, rullino famigerato che avevo sempre sentito nominare ma che non avevo mai avuto la possibilità di provare direttamente. Devo dire che la fama è assolutamente meritata: la resa dei colori è straordinaria, sia il blu che il rosso. Ovviamente la resa finale dipende dalla vostra tecnica fotografica e dal laboratorio di sviluppo a cui vi affidate, ma con un Ektar sapete di avere una buona base di partenza per ottenere un ottimo risultato. Si tratta di un rullino indubbiamente più "tecnico" rispetto a quelli di più largo consumo (e lo si vede anche dal prezzo) ed è l'ideale se avete un po' di esperienza di fotografia analogica sulle spalle per poterlo sfruttare al 100%, ma che siate ancora agli inizi o che siate fotografi navigati vi saprà dare grandi soddisfazioni.
