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

exactly like the listing

First time using Ektar. No complaints though my sunsets were not as saturated as I was expecting. Remember though it’s better to overexpose a little with this film than underexpose if you like the high saturation.

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.

This was my first time shooting at a lower grain, aswell as in colour. im really happy with how the results came out colours are a bit washed at times but can be fixed. (Cannon AE-1 Program, sigma f2.8 35-70, sigma f1.4 50mm)

Pretty good but I prefer the colors of Portra 400.

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.

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

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.
