Hey Dave, it's a Nikon Coolscan IV ED. I've had it for at least 15 years and finally got around to cleaning the mirror a few months ago. It was filthy!

That shot reminds me of the way Kodachrome from the mid-70s looked. I think also if it were shot with a G2, the rendering of the Zeiss lens reminds me of what I was shooting back then (50mm f1.8 Ultron) also.

Re portraits, the new Ektachrome is very neutral when shot in controlled conditions, but has a bluish bias outdoors when in open shade.
This is the new Ektachrome, drum scanned.
Once again, I wish we had a "Like" button. Nice scan!!!🙂

open shade IS bluish. a warming filter will take care of that.

Indeed. The color, sharpness, and portrait are just perfect.

We are now seeing why E100 is back! Great photos and nice scans, Lynn!
I am always envious of your Beach images (you always do great work🙂), but on a positive note, we hope to get back to the beach this year. Maybe! If so, E100 will be with us!
Thanks for posting!🙂🙂🙂
PS: the reds are especially eye-catching.

Thanks Dave, yes the reds really pop don't they. Strange as it may sound, the beach is the only place I can easily get to nowadays.. for a respite coffee with my wife followed sometimes by a brief walk with camera, only a few minutes from home. I count myself lucky!
The E100 is very nice, but Ektar 100 is cheaper and, I think, finer grained - with colour that's just as pleasing. Maybe I'll have a different opinion if I mount the E100 and project it.

Really like what I'm seeing in this thread, very nice work everyone.
Question: If you're here in the States, where are you having your Ektachrome E100 processed? I've had great results from Dwayne's Photo in Parsons KS with Fuji films, but my last batch of Kodak they processed came out a bit wonky, color-wise (green-ish,magenta-ish tints). I'll be shooting a half a dozen rolls in March, and am looking for a trusted place to send them.
Thanks.
Best,

I like these... 🙂...what ISO did you set for this roll?

Lynn,
Btw, how do you manage to shoot so close to the motifs without being subjected to verbal "attacks"?🙂

I had the EV compensation set at +2/3 and sometimes +1EV, Dave.
I'm quite open about taking pictures; this is a major tourist area so there's lots of people with DSLRs, mirrorless and cell phones everywhere taking pictures.

Ah... thanks, Lynn. So, the meter on your camera exposes properly but you added compensation for the conditions, otherwise the exposure would have been different due to the sunny beach conditions. One of my cameras, I forget which one, needs a little compensation just to expose properly for normal daytime shooting.
It sure helps to know your Beach as well as you do! Great results!🙂🙂🙂

Hi Tim,
you may have a look at our thread about recommended E6 labs:
https://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=137289
By far most recommendations for North America:

Excellent quality and service at low prices.
Back to Ektachrome E100: I've shot some further rolls in the last weeks. And now I am quite sure about this:
E100 is an ISO 80/20° film.
All my ISO 100/21° shots were a bit underexposed (Provia 100F with the same Nikon F6 body has always been perfect at ISO 100/21°, the F6 meter works perfectly).
Those E100 pictures I have exposed with ISO 80/20° are good concerning exposure.
Cheers, Jan

Agreed. If you are not projecting, E100 offers very little over Ektar. I see nothing in the photos in this thread that attract me to this film, because I don't project. Ektar will be far less expensive, offer way more dynamic range, and is much easier to process.
There's a reason why slide film has been on a slow death spiral for many years and why labs have been disappearing. That is because few people project slides. That is the main reason to shoot E6 film and why hardly anyone does today.

What Ektachrome offers over Ektar is fun. I have no intention of projecting slides and I like them anyway. Hold them up to the sky. Magic. Put 'em on a light table and enjoy. Scan and share or scan and print if you like. I make my medium format slides into bookmarks for friends and they love them. As long as E6 is around I'll happily shoot it.
E6 is just cool, full stop. Worth the price. Same goes for C41, B&W, IR, etc. It's all good, and all different.

Years ago, I shot a lot of E6 (Astia 100F in 6 x 7 format) and agree seeing them held up to the light is neat. But hardly worth the price, at least to me.
E6 film is much harder to scan properly which sucks a lot of the fun out it for me. I can scan 2-3 rolls of C41 for each roll of E6.
