Very nice colors indeed !! For me, I prefer slightly overexposure:
That's a great shot, love that dark natural frame you got in this!

Ektar sure is a crazy, finickity film, but when it works it's hard to beat:
I'm looking forward to trying some in my MF camera. BTW I completely agree with you JSU about Ektar 25 - a really special film.

Here's some more...
It has the same coppery tone of Kodachrome in the right light but also some of the purple hues and blues of Elite Chrome Extra Colour (EBX or E100VS) in the skies I'm finding:
There's a whole bunch more on my Flickr pages you can get to by clicking on any of the photos above.
I think I may have found my new staple film. I think I was slightly put off by the 2nd roll I shot which had a slight blue cast (underexposure) and that was on my old EOS 3 with its evaluative metering. These are all manual exposure in my head (as I say either f/2.8 at 1/60th or f/4 at 1/60th)
I find ISO 100 very usable in most conditions, you just have to loose from depth of field and maybe overall sharpness but on a good lens, at f/2.8 my Ultron is sharp enough to take a landscape like the above.

I love how this film can render very sharp and detailed images. To my eye, under circumstances like in the image below, it seems about as sharp as a 100 speed slide film like Provia 100F or Elite Chrome 100.

Fantastic shots in this thread; Vicki the colors are superb, although the warming filter helps.
I tried a roll of Ektar in the Sierra Nevada mountains in August and was pleased w/ the sharpness and color balance. These were taken w/ a CV Skopar 28/3.5:
