There is one special strength of this film, and it is the only color film I shoot because of this strength: colors. I use this film, when the motif is a motif because of its colors. A motif, which does become a motif for any other reason than its colors, I shoot b&w. Because of that, I always carry two (old medium format folding) cameras with me, one loaded with b&w and used for approx. 95% of all my shots, and a second one with Ektar, which I probably use for every 20th shot or so. (Actually, I carry more than just two cameras with me, what I can do, because I'm sitting in a wheelchair, which can carry all that stuff for me. 😉)
I always liked Ektar because I shoot landscapes. But I recently changed from using lab scans to DSLR scanning and converting with Negative Lab Pro- I was totally blown away by how much difference that makes. With the Cine Log profile especially, you can pull so much range and detail out of this film. Shoot this film in large format and you can make images that look like paintings. Good stuff!
I enjoyed the content man! I like you example photos, they give a good idea of what to expect from the film, I think I'll buy the ektar 100 film after all.
Ektar is my favorite film. Especially in vintage cameras that may have more muted color renderings, it helps to pump some color into the images. Those cameras include my leicaflex brigade. In my contarex, it makes almost cartoon levels of color. And in my Kodak Medalists, it gives almost a digital / Kodachromes render. But the color range in 6x9 is incredible. I did a review on my channel recently of ektar, and left some links in that video. Thanks! Jason
I just like Fujifilm Superia 400 Long Meadow it green tint you find in some situations I don’t like the red tint you get sometimes with Actar 100 like on skin tones and surfaces like sand. but it’s still a great performing film and all films have their little quirks anyways.
really lovin ektar especially when shot on 120mm, portra might be great for portraits and natural skin tones but i find it somewhat washed out and flat for everything else
The BEST ever 35 film for scenic style images, in particular with extremely fine grain, was Ektar 25. However ... Ektar is surely NOT suitable for portraits because the color balance is all wrong for specifically PORTRAITS.
Thanks for testing Ektar 35mm in a point-and-shoot! And special thanks for showing how portraits look on this film. You rarely see this on TH-cam.
Beautiful shots!! Where do you buy your film in Tokyo? The Bic and Yodobashi camera I went to were pretty limited.

La migliore pellicola esistente attualmente. La N.1
Road to 10k!

Did you use flash for the shots taken during the day?

5:09 is insane you gotta walk me thru that! if you'd see this lol

Are those daylight pictures taken with flash?
Let's go!
Do you use flash for the shots taken in the morning/afternoon?
I’m in Tokyo, what store did you get your film from?
わかりやすい🇯🇵📸

Ektar isn't an original Kodak film. The version we use came out in 2008
I can't find it. And when I finally find it, it's too expansive.
