So much depends on the camera, plus how it is shot, developed and scanned or printed. One film can vary wildly. Prior to its use on films, the Ektar name originally referred to Eastman Kodak's premium-priced lenses for professional use, which were introduced in 1936 and sold until the 1960s. In contrast to the branding from other lens-makers, Kodak emphasized that the name was a quality mark rather than referring to any particular optical formula. [3] Original Ektar film (1989 to 1997) [ edit ] When looking at the orange tones, the image shot with Kodak Gold 200 has a more subtle and flat orange tone, while the oranges in the Ektar 100 image are brighter and more vibrant. I’m not going to spell out everything you can’t do with Ektar though, when I can instead tell you what you can. Shooting colourful scenes lit up in great light seems the obvious place to start.Detail: 10 out of 10. It’s one of the, if not the, sharpest films I’ve ever experienced. I would even say it rivals films like T-Max 100! Not all street photography has to be in monochrome. Indeed, if you’re in a place with lots of colour, it can be a shame not to take advantage of that. And as long as you have enough light for its ISO 100 rating, the sharpness, contrast, and low grain make Ektar a fine film to do so. One testament I’ve seen to that is comparisons made between Ektar and slide film. Having only shot one roll of slide – the new Ektachrome 100 – at the time of writing, I don’t really have the experience to repeat those claims. But I’d say them getting made elsewhere is worth noting. Recommended uses of Ektar 100, in Kodak’s words and not mine, are nature, travel, outdoor, fashion, and product photography. Note that this list doesn’t include portraits. I’ve tried to use three photographs below that demonstrate the claims Kodak explicitly makes of Ektar. Of the vivid colours, exceptional sharpness, and world’s finest grain. And also one they imply by not including portraits in that list of recommended uses for the film.

Comparing it very slightly unfavourably to some of the best films out there doesn’t make this one bad though, and the only reason I’m making that comparison is Kodak class this as a professional film.

Conclusion

Ektar” is a name Kodak has been reserving for its premium products since 1936 . Up until 1960, Ektar belonged to a series of the brand’s top-end lenses.
