Inspiring Ektar

[NathanJD]

Inspiring Indeed! I received a delivery today that contained a roll of Ektar that i have now loaded into the M2 and eagerly await the weekend! i bought it to see how it stands up to digital. From what i see here i feel excited to see what my roll will do.

How noticeably different are the results of lowering the ISO?

I've only ever shot Ektar at the rated speed. I like the results so I won't mess with that.

I had to say, Ektar 100 is probably the only reason I shoot color now, tested a roll with GR1s recently, and fall in love with the result.

... Keep film alive!

yeah, but according to a sales rep at a local photo store Kodak killed Ultra Color in 135 in favor of Ektar. Does anyone know if we'll see Ektar in ISO 400?

I've got a few rolls of Ektar (bought after another thread that was inspiring) waiting to be shot, but the damn boston weather is being completely uncooperative.

Some great shots in this thread, BTW.

Why would they kill a 400 iso product for a 100 iso product?
Seems they already had 400NC and 400VC at that slot. I would guess simple trimming of the product line would be a better reason to kill 400UC (which I miss).

what I heard (unverified/rumor) was that there was going to be an Ektar 400. I'm not up on Kodak's film roadmap, so I was hoping someone could confirm or deny.

Yes, that's Fisgard Lighthouse. My family lives in Victoria.

I have a bunch of stuff shot with Ektar on my Flickr stream. It does seem to make bright reds extremely red, as you can see below. I haven't tried printing any of my shots from the film. I'd be curious to see how they look in the real world.

 

[mich8261]

I'll confirm the reds being very red, but I like it.

Not surprisingly, I have also found that it is not great for people (no example because my wife would kill me).

I quite enjoy the vibrancy. Here are a few more samples from my flickr photostream.

Yes it does! 😀 Thanks. 😛

I like everything about this picture, the colors (and I usually don't) the composition, the boat and the highway.. just great.

Holy Moly! I need to buy some Ektar and give it a try! There are some stunning pictures on this thread. 🙂

Thanks Martin,

I was struck by the location of the thing. Unfortunately, you can't see that it's more than just the highway that makes it interesting. Across to the right is a couple of old plumbing businesses and behind it is the abandoned railway station. I was just making my way through some very run down streets and bam...there's a boat sitting almost under the highway.
