Ektachrome E100 Image Thread!

Has anyone had their lab push process Kodak E100 film?

Since there are no slide films currently made faster than ISO 100
it might be useful to know how this film handles a 1-2 stop push...

You might check with AgX lab in Sault St. Marie, MI. Talk to Michael Lussier, there. He'll know. Just Google AgX. It'll come up.

Not as sharp as I would like to see. Ektachrome E100 (the new one), Wista 45RF and Nikkor 90 f8

It is at least sharper than Ektar and Portra 160.
But not as sharp as the former Kodak E100G.
And Provia 100F had already surpassed former E100G in sharpness, and is significantly surpassing current new E100 in sharpness and resolution.
Provia is also a bit less contrasty and has better dynamic range. It is a bit warmer in color rendition than E100, too.

Concerning sharpness all who have tested it come to the same conclusion:

I've developed my first 4 rolls that were shot last summer and cool stored, using TT Colortec. The films came out great. Lovely Ektachrome colours. I read a post or two above advising on shooting the new Ektachrome at E.I. 80. Not the case I'm affraid. Kodak know better.
 
My results after about 30 rolls of Ektachrome E100:

- E100 is sharper, finer grained and higher resolving than all current color negative films (that was expected as it is characteristic for slide films)

- E100 is less sharp and has lower resolution than former E100G

- E100 is less sharp and has lower resolution than Provia 100F and both Velvias

- E100 has cooler tones than former E100G and current Provia 100F

- E100 is contrastier - steeper gradation curve - than former E100G and current Provia 100F

- E100 has less latitude and dynamic range than Provia 100F (and E100G)

- E100 has less speed (1/3 stop) than Provia 100F (Provia has real ISO100).

So my results are in-line with the majority here, and with those who have tested this film intensively.
E100 is a very good film. But Provia 100F has been - and is also today - the benchmark for neutral/natural transparency films. Provia remains the better film.
 
Some more old scans from my first (and only) roll of the new E100. All taken with OM4-Ti and Zuiko MC Auto-W 35mm f/2. Lab scans.

Just got around to shooting and developing two 4x5 sheets of the new E100 and I've also shot a few rolls of the 35mm format. When compared to Provia 100f and Velvia 50 I can definitely say that E100 is not really a 100 ISO film, my metering of the provia and velvia have always been spot-on while my E100 shots at EI 100 have always been too dark, next time I'm going to treat it like ISO 80 I think.

Developed 2 more rolls, exposed a year ago at E.I. 100, came out perfect.
 
This thread reminded me to order some for my planned Columbus Day leaf-peeping trip.
MPEX had the best price, $9.99 per 135-36 roll.

Bastian,

Nice work, love the images! Especially since there was zero opportunities for me to get out and shoot. You made me smile! :)

Any exposure information you can share with us?

Super shots. What lens and exposure time did you use? (if you don't mind saying?)

Thanks a lot. This is just the view from our kitchen window and I got extremely lucky to take these.
Both of them were taken with the 7A 50/1.1 wide open at around 6-8 seconds.

After Neowise was not visible anymore, I still had some frames left and took some long exposures. This one was taken with the CV 25/4 at f/11 and about 80min.

Dave, my wife works as a teacher and I couldn't take the car to get out of the city, as she needed it early in the morning. Had to make the best of the situation. The comet was visible from our kitchen window for about 5 days.

Well, Bastian, anyone who lives where there is a great view of the night sky is lucky enough! I don't think I have ever seen anyone do so well making the "best of the situation". Well done by you!:)
