Film: Kodak Ektar 100

8/8/2015

Kodak Ektar 100 color negative film seems to be a good quality film with nice saturated colors (especially reds apparently). I bought a few 120 rolls to see what it can do in the Pentax 6x7. I am planning to use Ektar mostly for landscapes.

I will add my impressions and some sample images to this post as I go and shoot more Ektar 100.

Sample images (Pentax 6x7)

The two images bellow are from my very first roll. My first impression from the film is very good. I developed it at home using a Tetenal C-41 kit (at 30°C). Scanned the film with en Epson V600 flatbed scanner. The colors, details and sharpness seems very good to me. Overall the film seems to perform very well but on this was also one of my first roll with the Pentax 6x7 and a wide angle lens so I need to improve my technique there. Quite a few shots were slightly out of focus, its seems to me that the DoF scale on the lens is not 100% accurate.
Here are a couple of images:

 And  a couple of crops showing some of the details. The crops are 1200px wide inside the 30MP scan of the 6x7 negative.

Conclusion

So far the film seem to hold its promises, I'll have to shoot more of it (and improve my technique withe the Pentax 6x7 in order to get sharper images).
