Kodak Ektachrome 100 - Film Gallery

Last year, I gave my brother 2 rolls of cheap, respooled Ektachrome motion picture film! I said to him, that he should try cross processing it, and so he did! Then he wanted to slap me, because the film was BLUE OVERALL ACROSS THE NEGATIVE! So 1 year later, I managed to buy an 81B filter to try to balance the negatives pre-development! HELL YEAH! The results were great! Just a quick note: It came back still a bit greenish bluish, retrospective I think an 81C filter would have been the sweet spot for this project, I’ve considered buing one, but it would have been 50% more expensive than the 81B back then! The contrasts are overwhelming! A recommendation based on my experiences: You don’t need to overexpose it, because that will inevitably blow out your complete highlights! Just try to meter for the darkest parts in the scene and hope for the best! I’ve tried this technique and nearly all of the shots turned out great to fairly usable! If you shoot it indoors or under artificial lighting, you’ll get a strong green cast, even with an 81B-filter and I got the usual signs of underexpsure! So: YES, absolutely doable on box speed with enough light on sunny days, but please don’t shoot anything indoors!

I have worked with all well-known professional slide films. Besides the legendary Kodachrome 64, Ektachrome was the best.

I’ve yet to find a film that is more enjoyable to use than Ektachrome. Don’t get me wrong- it’s very picky about exposure settings. But the results it provides are incredible. My favorite part is how much it richens up blues.

just great!

the first slide film i used but oh man! amazing colors! my favorite film up to now for sure (only problem is the low asa)

I used E100VS 120 pretty exclusively after the demise of PKR120. The Vivid Saturation did wonderful work on skies, clouds, landscapes, trees and wildflowers. Transparency films are very sensitive to over exposure. E100VS showed an extended toe allowing for lots of detail in shadows, blown out highlights were always a danger the shoulder was less forgiving than shadows. Grain was seamless, skies had imperceptible grain. If you used a polarizer deep blue skies were achievable for startling detailed landscapes. If VS were still available it would be my go-to film in 120.

Superb Sharpness, Grain and Resolution, very true to Life color.

Used Ektachrome on a trip to the beach, really liked the warm and bright colors. Slide film is more expensive than negative film, but Ektachrome seems to be cheaper than the other brands of slide film that are currently manufactured.

I decided to experiment with Ektachrome Side film with my Pentax K1000 camera that I’ve had for a very long time and I was very happy with the results. It gave great colors and detail in the ways that I wished. Very grateful that Kodak brought it back! And I’m also very grateful for The Dark Room for processing it for me. They do wonderful work there!!

I don’t know how this will be received and they’re welcome to delete it if they want to but I’ve never actually used Straight ektachrome. I’ve always used e100vs or ektachrome Lumiere in 100 speed. You have to understand I’m a former Kodachrome person. I have those expectations. E100vs and Lumiere are wonderful. I have absolute faith in ektachrome 100. I assume it will perform

Shot my first roll of this in the studio and home developed in a kit. I love the skin tones and saturation. The second Roll I shot outside in the street in NYC and really loved the results. Looking forward to this on 120.

Nice level of saturation with spot on skin tones make this my favourite film currently. The exposure latitude is quite good for a slide film as well. Super fine grain with exceptional detail and scans quite easily and it looks amazing from a projector! I keep 10 rolls on hand
