Yes
Has anyone used Kodak Ektar 100 print film, I`m going to start shooting 35mm again and would like to know what this film is like regarding colour grain ect.
My favourite film in the past has been EBX 100.
 
Be interested to see the replies you get. I too have just picked up my film camera again, but have ordered some Fuji Superia to use in it, as I have heard it's supposed to be pretty good.
 
Yes. It's a fantastic film and is probably the only colour negative film I will buy now since Kodak responded to their customers' demands and started making it in 120 size. It was originally only going to be 35mm

Not sure I understand the word myself... let em get this right then, there's film out there that actually takes colour images? At once? How... interesting :thinking:

Ps - can't help sorry, never did slides, only colour film I ever used though was Fuji as I liked the colourspace - it also has a sort of soft-sharpness that I like.
 
I've used a few rolls and if you get the exposure right the grain basically isn't there unless you enlarge massively. I have a 20x16 print from a frame and it's flawless.

My only criticism is the blues tend toward cyan more than the fuji colour space I'm used to. It's a great film though and well worth trying to see if you like it

superia 200asa and Reala100asa are excellent......but quite a lot of photographers (inc me) scans their negs and then use Photoshop and the differences (between films) equal out more.
 
Thanks everyone for the info, I will be ordering some this week, look forward to trying it, I use a Minolta duel scan Mk 111 to scan my slides/negs so I dont think I will get enough resolution for a 16x20 print.

For me, getting the exposure right means over exposing it a bit. Set your meter to 80 or 64. You definitely don't want to under expose it.

I have a roll in at the moment, just as a tester...been trying to see what it can do...think I have 3 frames left and then it'll be processed. Will post some results.
