Ektachrome E100 is here and there should be a lot of rolls headed for development and scanning by now.

Post your E100 images here and share your results with us!:)
 
Got the stack of rolls finally yesterday. Will be another week or so before I can post results here. Maybe some folks already have scans to show off sooner.
 
Just checked BHPhoto to place an order. Backordered until December. It would appear that the rollout has been successful. It will be very interesting to see the results.
 
OK!

Ordered two rolls from Freestyle last night. Next week, I begin shooting. So, please post YOUR images in the coming weeks as I await results to share!:D:D:D
 
Wish I had a "Like" button...:)

From what I am seeing, there is a lot of potential. This week I am shooting some expired Ektachrome to compare with new film.

Keep 'em coming!!!:)
 
Here are a few from my first roll. I have a second that I still need to scan, but I like it so far. Probably won't be shooting it often because of the cost, but it's fun to look at them with a loupe and see how sharp your photos really are (compared to scanned versions).

Not sure now when the order will be filled... no worries, I have more expired film than I can shoot at the moment. It will arrive here when it does.

Regarding scanning, I have always been underwhelmed with scanning slide film. This time around, I hope to solve that problem without resorting to a drum scan.

We shall see...:):)

Update:

Well, there you go...good things await those who are patient. Just received an email from Freestyle. The two rolls of E100 have been shipped and delivery is scheduled for Wednesday.:)
 
Color looks very neutral and realistic in the higher quality scans. No strong reds or yellows in the images here; I'm curious how they would render.

I have a second roll with some flowers and stuff that I haven't scanned yet. I'll see if I can get a few frames done tonight and post some up.
 
I finished scanning my first roll of Ektachrome 100 (new). I used a Pentax P3n with a center-weighted meter, ISO was 100, processed by Blue Moon Camera and Machine.

My P3n has proven to be a good meter, so my slides should have been right on, but the all seemed to be 1/2 stop underexposed. It is also troubling with even a slight under exposure whites are easily blow. In a well exposed scene any shadow area drops off quickly. I like the color rendition, but I'm going to have to be careful with scene choice.

These were taken either at 34 degrees latitude or 45 degrees latitude the last two weeks of October 2018.

Black shadows without detail are the reason that I carry a fill flash with me whenever I use slide film. Or, pick overcast days or scenes of low contrast.
