Kodak 6031330 Professional Ektar 100/36 Colour Negative Film

Product Information

The weather was very much the same over those few days: clear blue skies with only a very small hint of cloud if you looked really hard. This is a daylight balanced film, and as such can give interesting results in cloudy or indoor situations. Kodak first used it on their professional-grade lenses from the 1930s to the 1960s, before launching an Ektar film in 1989 that was available in various ISO ratings.

A late attempt to win in the compact market was hit by the rise of mobile photography and bankruptcy followed in 2012. I have mixed Ektar and Portra 400 in a single project, and with scanning and appropriate colour correction (given the vagaries of colour in scanning. So while I’m not positive that it’s my favorite film, there’s one thing that I can say – I find myself shooting Kodak Ektar 100 most frequently. The downside is that it’s more expensive to have a professional lab develop and scan your photos in the long run.Seems it is even available as 120 film, so one could also try it with some good old medium-format camera. In contrast to the branding from other lens-makers, Kodak emphasized that the name was a quality mark rather than referring to any particular optical formula. Still, it’s around five bucks (or more) cheaper per roll than slide film, and the results you’ll be getting with Ektar can be similar or even better — in terms of resolution and contrast. 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. What it is happens to be a high resolution film that provides sharp results and makes for an amazing fine art film.

One of the best things about the colour pallete of Ektar in my opinion is the way in renders blue tones, and blue-greens. I can see portra as a natural skin tone film whereas Ektar works well as an alternative to higher saturation slide films; I’m expecting higher dynamic range.

A wider FOV enables birdwatchers to track birds in flight more easily and observe birds in their natural habitats. The only thing you don't want to do with any film is underexpose as you just can't recover the shadows that much.
