Kodak Ektar 100 Professional ISO 100, 35mm, 36 Exposures, Color Negative Film

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

definitely buying this again ! very good quality and makes my pictures look majestic.

I have been a DSLR user who thought film was dead, and there is no comparison between film and digital, as digital will win. Then came Kodak Ektar 100. I am now sold on film. Kodak Ektar 100 is by far the best film for color photography out there. It gives amazing contrast, crisp detal, great colors, and the grain is nearly non-existent. It makes my DSLR seem obsolete. I did a comparison shots between my DSLR and SLR with Ektar 100, and I favored the detail of Ektar. Like one reviewer said, it is not a film for beginners though. You can't just shoot it and expect it to come out great. Know your lighting, and this film will work like nothing else. with that said though, you will not find a digital camera in the world that can produce the results of Ektar without first post processing the images from RAW. I am planning on buying some more to stockpile this lovely film.

I have been taking photographs with good quality cameras for over 40 years. I got started when I was in the Army. I stopped using film cameras until recently. I got reintroduced to film photography seeing how cheap I could get outstanding quality film cameras these days. I picked up the Minolta Maxxum 7000 and four lenses for less than $100.00. I shot a roll of Ektar 100 and sent it to Walmart for developing. They sent me back photos and a CD with the images on them. I put some of these up on Flikr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/85738626@N00/sets/72157651613334258/ I tell my friends to go out and buy film cameras while they are still so inexpensive. Does it really make for someone who mostly uses their phone to take photos to leave a $1500 digital camera in the drawer. Doesn't it make more sense to buy a high quality film camera and some good lenses and use film for those occasions where you want better than phone quality? Film will provide more tonality than digital. I have both digital and film now. There are reasons to use both. For color, Ektar is my favorite film.

Love this brand and can't wait to order more!

I like slide film better but Ektar is cheap and easy to get a hold of. I only give it 4/5 because of the way it renders shadows. Slide film is much smoother shadow tones - Ektar gets really grainy in shadows, while slides tend to just gradient to a solid black. This is good for SLR film cameras, if your using a cheap automatic film camera use the cheaper fuji Superia instead. Don't use cheap grocery store labs to process Ektar, send it to a real lab online and the results you get will be way better. It's good film if you know what you are doing.

This film has great colors, a unique look to it, and will make your 35mm shots look more like a medium format shot. But whoever is on amazon selling this stuff (and portra) for $25 or even $30+ a roll is crazy. Buy this on B&H, Samy's Camera, or Adorama for around $15. $15 still isn't cheap for film, but no film is cheap nowadays.

Je recommande Bon rendu

Qualitativ sehr gut und wenig Rauschen. Die Farben passen auch. Schon ein deutlicher Unterschied zum Kodak Gold. Allerdings nur ISO 100 und dadurch etwas eingeschränkt, wenn nicht gerade am Tage die Sonne scheint oder man kein Stativ dabei hat.

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。

Grande qualità, nella tradizione Kodak
