Kodak 6031330 Professional Ektar 100/36 Colour Negative Film

Product Information

Where to start with this film. First of all it’s very sharp. It looks great in all sizes ranging from 35mm to 4x5 large format. It’s tons are buttery smooth and colors look fantastic. The biggest issue I’ve seen with Ektar is the accuracy of the colors, but it’s not enough to be a significant issue in most cases. It only comes in the speed of 100, so low light shooting isn’t the best situation for this film. I generally prefer Ektar in the studio, where it can be on a tripod capturing all that beautiful detail and color. While Ektar 100 won’t make images as brilliant as slide film, and while it’s certainly less versatile than its faster brother Portra, in the right shooting situations it can create images that are simply stunning. With exceptional saturation, vivid color, and virtually non-existent grain, Ektar is one of the richest and most consistently beautiful color films available. But let’s take a real close look at Ektar 100, and see what Kodak’s cooking in color film. Another film named "Ektar" was introduced in 1989 by Eastman Kodak as a semi-professional color negative film, but it was later discontinued and was replaced by Royal Gold. A wonderful holiday film - any trip where you're expecting lovely sunshine (beaches or mountains!) deserves a roll of Kodak Ektar Shooting situations may change how elgar behaves, and sometimes in the studio my strobes like to give it magenta cast with saturated greens and yellow, and somehow Ektar still looks like a cool toned film. This film is daylight balanced, and probably would be great for street photography where you want to print large.

The first of those makes a lot of sense considering the markets this film was first sold in, while the second is interesting for only mentioning underexposure and the fact we had some shots earlier that seemed to have been affected by a little overexposure. This vibrant, crisp and ultra-vivid 35mm colour negative film offers unsurpassed sharpness and fine grain. Rich tones make any scene come to life - from landscapes or travel to street photography and portraiture. With its high saturation and ultra-fine grain, Ektar 100 is perfect for capturing that elusive creative moment in stunning detail. Features: Kodak Ektar is an ISO 100 colour negative film that, as you might expect following that claim about its grain, sits firmly in the company’s Professional range.

Technical Factors

Kodak Ektar is a daylight balanced colour negative film that’s available in 35mm, 120, and sheet formats, in ISO 100 only. It’s developed using the common C-41 process. Ektar, in my experience, has been quite versatile. Due to it’s low ISO, people generally wait to shoot it on the brightest days when the sun is shining in it’s strength. While Ektar certainly performs beautifully in these conditions, it holds up very well as the light begins to go down. You can still achieve those deep rich scenes for the more moody side of photography. Don’t feel that you have to be out on the beach or in the middle of a supernova for this film to really work for you. Kodak claims that Ektar has the finest, smoothest grain of any colour film. Now, we haven’t done any technical comparisons for our Ektar film review, but we are pretty impressed with how fine the grain is in these images. Especially considering the format. Second, I would imagine that it’s more efficient to produce a single sheet of film and cut it into a large variety of formats than to manufacture multiple film speeds on separate machines (as they did in 1989-1991). And so today we can have Ektar in 35mm, 120, 4x5, and 8x10. “World’s Finest Grain.”

Exactly where the ProFoto and Pro Image stories overlap is something I can’t tell you, but I don’t suppose it’s too important either. So with all said and done, this Kodak Ektar 100 is a relatively young film with a historic name. As well as the aforementioned finest, smoothest grain of any color negative film available today, it also promises to bring ultra-vivid color and exceptional sharpness. This Kodak Ektar 100 film simulation recipe is intended for and only compatible with (as of this writing) the Fujifilm X100V, X-Pro3 and X-T4. It uses Clarity, which slows down the camera considerably. I just allow the pause to slow myself down. Another option, which is what Fujifilm recommends, is to add Clarity later by reprocessing the RAW file in-camera or with X RAW Studio. If you know how to use this film well, it will create lovely results. This premium emulsion is designed to develop sharp, virtually grainless images with lots of contrast and saturation . As far as Fujicolor 160NS, I think Pro Neg. Hi is a much closer starting point than Classic Chrome. Obviously this recipe is much too warm, unless one was using a warming filter or had a radioactive-coated lens. And too much contrast, too. Again, there are so many variables, and it’s difficult to nail down exactly what one film “looks like”. That’s obviously a pretty big challenge, but I’m always trying to get the general feeling “right” if I can.

Where to Buy Film

But this is all a bit fiddly and beside the point. If shot at box-speed in adequate light with a properly metered machine, Ektar will make consistently perfect shots with exceptional color. I think that covers all I want to say about street photography with Pro Image 100. To sum up, it has fine image quality, it pushes you to shoot in good light which will help you get even better results, and it’s inexpensive compared to some other Kodak films. And on that topic, despite the name and the category it’s in, not much about this film felt very professional to me. As well as the outdated box design, the film is priced more like a Gold or an Ultramax than it is an Ektar or a Portra. Which is a good thing, but still a little contrary to its billing. It was already modified somewhat from the 6th generation of Kodak Gold 100, and the Gold 200 we have today is the 7th generation of that, with the last update coming in 2007. This means although they share the same lineage, they have diverged even further since the inception of Pro Image.
