Clean palette. Pure whites. Lack of bluish cast. Sharp. Low grain (but I cant' notice grain in most of the new films. This is a GREAT film!

None that I can see.

This review is for the new version of the film - the consumer version of E100G/GX. I just received my first rolls back from the processing lab (Kodak). I am quite impressed. This film is an improvement over the previous emulsion. It is cleaner - I do not see a pinkish/redish cast. The whites are pure. I think that the film was given a slightly warmish bias, because street images, which contain asphalt (street paving material) do not go blue - a problem with the old emulsion and with other emulsions sold today. However, the warm bias is not overpowering. The film produces a sharp, colorful image. To my eye, it is more vibrant than Fuji's Astia/Sensia. It seems similar to Provia 100F (a bit warmer perhaps) at a lower cost.

Kodak's phone service is fine.

Fuji: Provia 100F, Sensia 100, and Velvia (which has its own special palette). Kodak: Kodachrome 64 and the previous Elite Chrome 100 and E100 emulsions.

Colour rendition.

Nothing major.

I hadn't used slides for a number of years, so tried a roll of Elitechrome 100. I was very impressed with the impact of the colours, especially when projected. There was a vibrancy which wa svery impressive. Also the definition and detail were very good. I found the latitude was good, and I ran into very few exposure problems. Overall one of the best slide films I've tried, and one I'll use again.

Fujichrome sensia 100.

The best skin tones in a consumer film.

Poor greens even with polarizer. Worse latitude than Sensia.

I wasn''''t totally happy with Sensia because it''''s a bit flat for me, so I tried this. I was dissapointed. I hoped that with an 81A filter it would be like E100SW, but it isn''''t. Blues are great, but greens are weak. Definitely it''''s not for nature. Skin tones are better than the pinky Sensia.

Fuji Sensia, Agfa RSX II 100. E100SW much much better.

available at more stores than the best film, but why does Walmart always have the 200 speed? it''s not nearly as good it will get the job done if nothing else is available strong colors

if you shop around, Provia F is a better buy in 5 pack slightly cool cast in some situations, but nothing to scream about

I find this film adequate, but it doesn''t move me. Grain and sharpness are,I guess, middle of the road for 100 slide film. It will get the job done, but I would not use it for a location I may not get to return to for a long time. For those important occasions, I would use Provia F or Velvia. Velvia is super sharp! I can''t wait to try some Kodachrome 64 to see if it''s sharper than Velvia. I am fairly new to slide film, and I am trying several to see what I should order in bulk. EC 100 will probably not be one of these, but it''s strongest point is it has very good color saturation.

Inexpensive, readily available. More neutral color ballance can be helpful depending on the subject. Soft, muted tones come out better with this film than with punched up E6's

Grainier than similar films. Colorful subjects come out more dull than you remember them.

Not a bad film, but if you're after super color or high resolution it doesn't measure up to other E6's.

I really like EC100, the color looks good and so does the grain. I don't understand why nobody else likes it. Of course it's not as good as Velvia or Ektachrome 100VS, but for the money it's a good film.

Cheap, Available almost anywhere

Lacks the punch of say, Velvia

Buy it only if on a trip you run out of film and its the only one available in the local Walmart

Somehow lacking the richness and sharpness of the older Extachromes

I used to use Extrachrome all of the time, but have stopped using it much. Maybe its because I fell in lovew with Fuji or maybe its just that the latest offerings (elitechrome) have fallen a bit short. Not something I can put a finger on, but...

Virtually none. It *was* slide film, and it did have color.

Not to be glib, but this was the most unsatisfactory film I've ever tried. The only positive comment I can offer is that exposure latitude appeared fairly generous.

-Grain the size of small meteorites
-Resolution comparable to that achieved by impressionist painters

Another reviewer here commented, "...when was the last time your film 'broke'?" Well, this may be that time. I have to assume either the film or processing was faulty since I've never heard of similar problems expressed by others. I plan to test a roll of Elite Chrome 200, purchased from another store, and have it processed by another lab, to try to rule out the possibilities that faulty processing or exposure to high heat may have been factors.

Might be necessary in this case.

Extremely fine grain
Good skin tone rendition
Does not unduly saturate

Not as true color rendition as Kodachrome 64
Cool, especially when outdoors, but not in direct sunlight

A decent all around general chrome with good skin tone. Has extremely fine grain that picks up high detail levels. Seems to have slightly wider latitude than Kodachrome. Outdoors when not in direct sunlight it has a slightly cooler color response which may bother photographers used to warmer films. If it does, try the professional E100SW instead. Does well under flash. Does not unduly saturate, but color rendition is not as accurate as Kodachrome. Although Kodachrome 64 is my favorite, I use this film among several others in cameras with slower (f/2.8) lenses that might get into EV trouble in low light with the slower Kodachrome.
