What do you think are the best remaining ISO 100-200 35mm color films? I personally like Ektar and Provia 100, I would shoot tons of Provia if slide film development didn't cost a fortune.

Ektar is the only kodak film worth shooting.

What does it cost you? I get a free development coupon for every roll of slide film I buy from my local shop. It's about 10€ per roll of 120. E6 development alone would be 2.10€
>>3065082
Kodak currently has no good color films period. Hopefully the new Ektachrome is nice.
>>3065186
Why do you think Portra is not good?
>>3065079
Holy shit the film in the OP pic looks fucking awful.
What's the deal with Ektar 100? I am going through flickr and the colors in all photos seem off and not in a pleasant way.
>>3065173
It costs 20 dollars US per roll at all of the places around here.
>>3065186
Ektar is nice. Not especially interesting but fine grain and pretty neutral/warm colors
>>3065224
It's not a film that can be pushed or overexposed. The colors look pretty true to life for a color negative film so it's really their processing if it looks especially weird. Really comparing portra to ektar, ektar is just more contrasty and finer grain, the colors rendition extremely similar.
>>3065224
Ektar on the right, portra on the left. Both look fine desu, processing/scanning might lead to weird results if people don't know what they're doing. The film doesn't have much character but it's the finest grain color negative film you can buy.

?
Ektar is a film with less exposure latitude than many color neg films, what of my statement do you take issue with.
>>3065300
the fact that you think the color rendition is similar.
>>3065303
It is. I would say ektar looks better and it's far contrastier and there's a bit of a different cast (that could partially be due to the scan as well) but the color rendition (ignore the contrast/shadows) is quite similar, it's supposed to be. I didn't say they look the same, but they're more similar than comparing it to a Fuji film or something which looks so drastically different in every way

Again, similar does not mean the same, didn't say the films look the same because ektar has a bit of a magenta color cast and is much contrastier

I hate ektar
>>3065224
Ektar is a nasty film to deal with because its color profile is very unpredictable and requires heavy-handed work in post. It seems to be extremely sensitive to variations in exposure, like slide film but in a different way. In one frame you get vivid, powerful colors and the next one comes out with a pale blue cast that makes everything look dead. It requires lots of fine tuning in post, as opposed to Portra that seems to come out nice and natural every time. Ektar has a characteristic "coldness" to it that's fine sometimes, but it robs the life out of the scene and makes summer shots look uncanny. Like a bright summer day in late July when winds suddenly shift and the temp drops below +10C. Pic related, it's one of my old Ektar snasphits.

More saturation+more contrast=/= significantly different colors. If I took the same pics with another film the greens would be so different
>>3065308
Sounds like you just suck with shooting with it and you have your scanner settings on auto desu
Is ektar the only ISO 100 color film left besides slide film? The detail is great and I shoot during the day most of the time but like I said in an earlier post, slide film costs a ton to develop around here so I don't know if there are alternatives to shooting ektar.
>>3065311
Nah, you're wrong. I can spot ektar from a mile away, even with you trying to hide it by shooting ugly brown garbage.
>>3065318
Ektar y/n?

Thanks for proving you were full of shit.
Didn't say they were good pics haha, I'm aware they're not I chose them because it's not super obvious which films they are
>>3065377
I was just trying to hurt your feelings. Top is portra, bottom is ektar.
>>3065321
dunno why but this reminds me of c200 or superia
must be the lab scan
not that agressive guy, i like ektar. just guessing for the fun of it
>>3065321
looks kinda like kodak gold?
>>3065322
im guessing that this is ektar, but the grain is making me unsure.. might just be cropped a bit?

Wrong and wrong
Neither are ektar, top is Fuji superia and bottom is portra
>>3065403
That's a dirty trick, you faggot.
>>3065404
K.
Just proving you can't actually see that shit from a "mile away". I'm a film fag and it's hilarious when I see film fags say that shit, some films are obvious like the superia, that film looks extremely unnatural but pleasing but a lot of other films look quite similar to each other in different situations and differences are only hugely noticeable when compared side by side
>>3065407
K.
It's not like your cherry-picked bullshit photos prove anything, especially when the test was rigged from the beginning.
What's this photo? Portra or ektar?

Why are you testing me now? You already proved my point, I never said I could spot ektar a mile away, you were the one that said that and I proved you actually can't because you thought portra was ektar. I never claimed to be one who can identify every film so I don't see why you're testing me now lol.
>>3065569
Could these be mistaken for portra?
>>3065441
qt cat, nice shot.
Ektar has this weird color effect florescence which is really nice..
>>3065415
not ektar, is my guess
this is how all my yellows come out on ektar

Because Portra has no character. It's just a bland, offend nobody film.
>>3065958
Oh, it's definitely ektar.
>>3065079
ektar is fucking trash and that picture right there sucks shit. i bet fucking velvia 50 would have handled the highlights better.
ektar wants to be slide film and does a terrible job at it, palette is awful, colors are all terrible and you cant say its warm nor cold, its just lousy and loud with saturation, its like it comes with vibrancy boosted all the way up. it always comes up looking super magenta and cyan, an all around turd. kodak def lost it.
>>3065396
thats motherfucking ektar with its nearly uncorrectable shitty red midtones.
>>3065973

must have been real good light then because my yellows always fade super hard and I have to correct them quite a bit to get them where I want

there they are, classic cyan shadows and cyan fuckery in underexposed areas. i hate that film.
>>3067974
that was fucked with quite a bit to achieve those colors. I wanted to see how far I'd have to adjust them to get them 'right'
I enjoyed some of the results for a lot of the other stuff I shot with it but its definitely not a film I'd use a lot
lso I shot on a konica big mini at really early light so these definitely aren't ideal results to test this film just my two cents
