Kodak Ektar 100 is the ultra-vivid, ultra-fine-grain option when you want color to pop. This ISO 100, daylight-balanced color negative film delivers slide-like saturation with the flexibility of C-41 processing. Expect rich, punchy hues (deep blues, lush greens, vibrant reds), crisp edge acuity, and exceptional detail that holds up to very large prints and high-resolution scans. Ektar 100 shines in bright light—landscapes, travel, nature, automotive, product, and architecture—where its micro-contrast and clarity produce a clean, modern look. Compared to Portra, latitude is a bit tighter and contrast higher, so accurate metering is rewarded; many shooters rate at ISO 64–100 or give +1 stop for slightly softer highlights. Skin tones can skew vivid, so it’s less of a portrait stock unless you embrace a stylized palette. Negatives scan beautifully with strong color separation and minimal grain, making color grading fast and consistent. If you want maximum color and detail without going to slide film, Ektar 100 is your go-to. Process anywhere in standard C-41chemistry.
