Kodak 6031330 Professional Ektar 100/36 Colour Negative Film

Product Information

The downside is that if you underexpose the image, the colors can turn muddy and if you overexpose the image, the colors give off a more pastel and washed out vibe. Muddy colors are difficult to work with, however, if you’re going for a pastel/washed-out look, you can work with overexposing Kodak Ektar 100. Ektar 100 with Minolta TC-1. Plenty of light in this shot; I had no trouble scanning it and there are no colour corrections applied to this image. When to shoot Kodak Ektar. So much depends on the camera, plus how it is shot, developed and scanned or printed. One film can vary wildly. Recommended uses of Ektar 100, in Kodak’s words and not mine, are nature, travel, outdoor, fashion, and product photography. Note that this list doesn’t include portraits.

For a really long time, if you wanted very vivid colors in your film photos you needed to go to a slide film–but when Kodak introduced Kodak Ektar 100 things changed. Photographers were able to get punchy, vibrant, saturated colors with the ease of use that negative film provides. To this day, Kodak Ektar 100 is used to a variety of applications with one of the most common ones being landscapes. However it is also in use for portraiture as its low ISO value allows for incredibly sharp photos.Kodak Ektar 35mm film is a fantastic professional film for nature, wildlife and fashion photography thanks to its vivid colours and optimised sharpness. While I may sound engrossed with slides, and believe me I am, I want to talk about a color negative film that shares many of the great benefits of slide film but at both a fraction of the cost and difficulty. Yes, a print film with fine grain, wide exposure latitude, bold color rendition, and a reasonable price.This film would of course be the impressive Kodak Ektar 100. But is Ektar actually the finest color-negative film around? In a word; yes. With 35mm shooting there’s virtually no grain whatsoever. If you were to print massive enlargements from a 35mm shot you may find some, but we’re talking about truly massive enlargements here. With medium and large format Ektar film things become even more outrageously enlargeable. As a film produced to be sold in some hot and humid regions, Pro Image 100 is said to stand up well to high temperatures, albeit to the slight detriment of the results it gives when compared to other Kodak Professional films.

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. When looking at the orange tones, the image shot with Kodak Gold 200 has a more subtle and flat orange tone, while the oranges in the Ektar 100 image are brighter and more vibrant. In fact, it helps you in a way as it encourages you to shoot in good light, which is always conducive to better looking photographs, in my opinion. I already have a Kodak Ektar film simulation recipe that I published a little over two years ago, but I’ve been wanting to revisit it for awhile. In the article that I published for that recipe, I wrote, “I’m actually a little hesitant to call this film simulation recipe Kodak Ektar 100 because it’s not quite right. It’s close, but a little off. The color palette is slightly askew.” That’s a true statement. My original Ektar recipe is close but no cigar. Since that time Fujifilm has added more JPEG options to their cameras, so would it be possible to get closer to real Ektar on my X100V?

Not that it matters, of course. It’s just an observation about something relevant to the history of this film. A película peculiarity, if you will. Kodak also say Pro Image has similar printing characteristics to their Gold films, which keeps things simple for those who do indeed put their work to paper.
