Ektachrome E100 Image Thread!

No problem scanning E100 😉
I dont think Ektar looks like this

I've shot one roll and have another three or four in the fridge. From the little I've seen, I agree with the comments that Ektar 100 compares well with Ektachrome 100, though I have to give it also a whirl at EI 80 which seems a bit more promising. One thing that slide film does, even for those of us who don't project, is that it provides for a quick overview. It's as if you have a contact sheet without any need to scan the entire roll. It's more expensive but it saves time.

I met up with a local photog who was selling some overstock he had (P400) but told me he had some 120 ektachrome. Too bad I was out of cash and could only grab 1 roll of E100VS and another of E100G. Expired 2007 and always refrigerated, yours looks great!


EDIT: Haven't shot E100 yet (waiting for 120) but a few samples I've seen under certain conditions approach Kodachrome in look. I do wonder that at Kodak they may nudged it a bit towards getting that look, within the design envelope of approaching E100G.

I bought several rolls, now I'm just waiting for the snow to melt so I can use it.

I find it easier to store it in the freezer.

Ok, it is Spring in some parts and warmer weather is ahead.

Reminder:

Have you stocked up on Ektachrome?🙂

Who is shooting E100 this month? You know you want to.🙂

I have been busy shooting 220 Ektachrome and I need to order some more 35mm E100 soon!

🙂🙂🙂

I thought about getting a roll for this Easter in Santa Barbara, CA, but didn't order in time. We are having a late spring here so I have a couple of weeks. My hip is good and I'm almost back with the living.

 

[ChrisPlatt]

I think I'm finally ready to order some.

In June I'll be spending a long weekend Upstate right on the Hudson River.
If the weather is bad I'll shoot BW in my Nikonos, and save the E100
for our leaf-peeping trip in The Berkshires Columbus Day Weekend.

Time to celebrate! But easy going though....

I cannot wait to see what you come up with shooting some new E100.😉

Cool! Gotta love a plan like that!😎

Great photos, Nick!


I'm especially impressed with the first and third.

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.

Mmm, perhaps... The new Ektachrome 100 presents a more true luminescence of the light and colour - real colour - to my eyes. And so do most slide film. I shoot it because it shows the colour that was there on the scene. Or is it the contrast? Any ways, it's more real to me.

 

[ChrisPlatt]

Several posts mention high cost.
Currently the 135-36 film is available from various sellers for just under $13.00.

B&H has 1 roll with prepaid mailer for processing by Dwayne's for $23.95;
film only alone (without processing) is priced at $12.99 per roll.

Only shot 1 roll of ektachrome so far but here's some shots straight out of the scanner. Tried to pick a variety of color pallets. Shot on nikon n8008s with 28mm 2.8 ai lens.

Hmmm... my local camera shop has a nice n8008 for sale at $49..., maybe...

I know it's a bit OT and more appropriate for the GAS thread, but spend those $ on Ektachrome instead! Thinking about the film and processing keeps my GAS at bay.


Ironically, I thought I would first shoot slide with the Rolleicord with Ektachrome... and turns out I'll be as I just loaded the E100G roll I got the other day into it. Now, flowers aren't still here so it's time to look for other colorful things and maybe take a while to shoot it through.
Would like to get some friend on it, but life keeps them apart of my cameras.
