Kodak Press Release
New KODAK PROFESSIONAL EKTAR 100 Film Provides Photographers with the World’s Finest-Grain Colour Negative Film
LONDON, September 9, 2008 – Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) continues to champion professional photographers and set new standards in professional film with the new KODAK PROFESSIONAL EKTAR 100 (EKTAR 100) film. This new film, with ISO 100 speed, high saturation and ultra-vivid colour, offers the finest, smoothest grain of any colour negative film available today.


“Photography has always been about capturing a moment or story and sharing it, with just a few or with the world,” said Mary Jane Hellyar, president, Film, Photofinishing & Entertainment Group and executive vice president, Eastman Kodak Company. “It is often the smallest details that mark the difference between a good photograph and one that stands out and becomes memorable. With our new EKTAR 100 film, we’ve created a film that helps the photographer capture unprecedented detail in remarkably vivid colour. This film continues a Kodak tradition of providing photographers with the highest quality films that expand the range over which they can create outstanding images.”


EKTAR 100 Film is the ideal choice for commercial photographers and advanced amateurs for applications such as nature, travel, fashion and product photography where the emphasis is often on colour. The new film incorporates KODAK VISION Motion Picture Film Technology to achieve its unparalleled fine grain. It’s perfect for photographers who prefer the ease of working with 35mm, and who look for extraordinary enlargement capability when scanning and printing.

"So will this replace UltraColor or be in addition to it"

It replaces 100UC. And 400UC will disappear by the end of 2008.

For the record: There was an earlier thread in which I posted a link to the Kodak description of Ektar 100:

Okay. There seemed to be some big overlap between 400UC and the Portra 400VC, and I wasn't sure why they marketed two different films that seemed to be very similar.
 
Kodak will represent the film @ Photokenia acording to an artical. If any RFF members are going, see if you can get some free samples & report your findings. It's susposed to be scanner friendly.
 
I'll have to try this -- once I get through the 90+ rolls of Ultra 100 I have in the freezer. 😀 😀

I have five rolls left...

I haven't counted recently- I'm somewhere between the two of you- I'd guess 50-60 rolls. If this is anything like the old Ektar 25 was I'd certainly use it, and not worry so much that I was shooting too much of my stash.
