Kodak Ektachrome E100G Colour Slide Film ISO 100 35 mm 36 Exposures Transparent

Product Information

The rise of these new slide films, especially Fuji’s Velvia, combined with a general decline of slide film use throughout the 1980s and 1990s to see Kodachrome getting squeezed out. As far as Kodak offerings went, Ektachrome was the new reversal king. Ektachrome, initially developed in the early 1940s, allowed professionals and amateurs alike to process their own films. It also made color reversal film more practical in larger formats, and the Kodachrome Professional film in sheet sizes was later discontinued.

In the 1960’s and ’70’s I used K25 and K64, together with Ektachrome 64 and 100. In my ignorance, I’d always try and buy films with the longest use-by date, but this was governed by what was on the shelves of dealers. What I noticed with Kodachrome in particular was a distinct difference between the really fresh films compared to those with much later use by dates. I think my best results came when the sun was shining fully and pretty much shining fully from behind me. Any cloud cover affected my shots, and too much of a sideways angle of the light seemed to also. So that’s my non-expert advice for you when shooting yours. E100VS is the ultimate cross-processing slide film. When cross-processed it tended to enhance blues, though it also gave extra punch to reds and yellows, keeping green relatively restrained. Blue skies on E100VS look achingly beautiful. In my experience, histogram equalization was only necessary for some of the frames, particularly if the entire scene was underexposed. Grain structure, resolution, and sharpness.Whereas the development process used by Kodachrome is technically intricate and beyond the means of amateur photographers and smaller photographic labs, Ektachrome processing is simpler, and small professional labs could afford equipment to develop the film. Many process variants (designated E-1 through E-6) were used to develop it over the years. Modern Ektachrome films are developed using the E-6 process, [6] which can be carried out by small labs or by a keen amateur using a basic film tank and tempering bath to maintain the temperature at 100°F (38°C).

After shooting about 6 rolls, I selected about 20 frames for drum scanning. The scenes varied and lenses used were a Voigtlander 40mm Ultron, a Nikon 70-200 f/4, and a Sigma 160-600. My favorite shots tended to be closer to the telephoto and super telephoto range with a shallow depth of field. With high-resolution drum scans, you’re able to truly analyze grain unlike any other scans and with E100, and I was impressed. When compared to a film such a Provia 100F, the grain seemed smaller, more even, and produced slightly sharper images.Other film manufacturers use their own designations for nearly identical processes. They include Fujifilm's process CR-55 (E-4) and CR-56 (cross-licensed with Kodak's process E-6; but with slight variations in the first developer); and the now-discontinued Agfachrome and Konica's CRK-2 (E-6 equivalent). The aforementioned movies, Three Kings and Inside Man, both used Ektachrome in their production purely because they wanted the stylised effects you get from cross-processing it.

How will new EKTACHROME compare with the original? Well, images I have seen from film sent out for Beta testing certainly have that EKTACHROME look.

Retrieved May 14, 2015.I suppose that’s fitting – by all rights, Ektachrome shouldn’t even be here. Up until a few months ago it was all but certain that we’d be saying goodbye to E-6 slide film. Kodachrome fell in 2010. Fujifilm, though producing some of the best film in the game, keeps cutting film from their catalog like a bitter ex deleting every photo of you off of their phone. And even though film is experiencing a resurgence, it never looked like the difficult, strange pleasures of slide film would ever be attractive to new shooters, not to mention film manufacturers. Longer exposure times are often needed when shooting around sunrise/sunset or in low light due to the slow speed of the film. When shot well, slide film like Ektachrome E100 should give results that colour negative films would struggle to replicate. Sure, the contrasty, punchy lens of the LOMO LC-A, with its moody vignetting and attention-grabbing sharpness, was a big part of it.
