Kodak Ektar 100

What Kodak Ektar 100 actually looks like — 19 photographs shot on it by members here.

ISO 100 · Color negative · 19 photographs · 2 developing recipes

Kodak Ektar 100 is the most saturated of Kodak's professional color negative films, and Kodak bills it as the finest-grained color negative film made. Blues and reds come out vivid, detail is very sharp, and scans hold up to big enlargements, which makes it a favorite for landscapes, travel and anything bright and colorful. It is made in 35mm, 120 and sheet film.

It is less forgiving than Portra. Contrast is higher, latitude is narrower, and skin tones can turn ruddy, so it is rarely the first choice for portraits. Meter carefully and avoid underexposure; scans sometimes need a little color correction. For softer, more natural color, compare it with Kodak Portra 160 or Kodak Portra 400; for saturated color as a slide, Kodak Ektachrome E100.
