Kodak Ektachrome E100SW Slide Film

Kodak Ektachrome E100SW Slide Film 

DESCRIPTION

The warm color balance of E100SW Film makes it great for any application where the lighting is unpredictable. So you can shoot with confidence even when you''ve got gray, overcast conditions on location or at a sporting event. And when the lighting is low or the action is fast, you can gain extra film speed by push processing - with virtually no change in color balance.

Strength:

Hey, this is a REAL man's camera". In actual use, the body itself and all of its controls feel solid like no other camera on the market today. These were built to last. It has all the traditional controls, and they are all in the expected locations. It's a very comfortable camera to use. Used with the non- Santa Ana Mobile Mechanic

Strength:

Virtually grainless, sharp, realistic.

Weakness:

Slightly more expensive, our excellent camera shop says it's harder to develop, they have to do a test run of the film batch to keep it from "going red."

Although I have been a Fuji lover for years, I have to yield to Kodak's new 100SW. My son and I go on international shoots every August, and this time we compared Fuji Provia 100, Sensia 100 with this new Kodak 100SW. The SW is virtually grainless, a full step about the provia. It is also super sharp, realistic colors to just slightly saturated, very slightly warm. Does everything well. It is unbeatable. We didn't refrigerate it on the trip, it got warm and cold several times in various Venezuelan climates. Stunning! I mean breathtaking reproduction.

Strength:

Fine Grain 100 Speed Nice warming affect so I don't have to use any filters. Available in all formats

Weakness:

None

If you have not tried this film, I would highly recommend you give it a shot. I had been using Kodachrome 64 for some time. Seeing how Kodak seems to be phasing it out, I decided to try out the new family of films. When I got it back from the lab, I was very impressed. I was amazed how fine the grain was. The grain seemed finer than the Kodachrome 64. I have shot both the E100S and E100SW. I prefer the “SW” because of the slight warming affect it has. The E100SW is the only film I use for glamour shots.

Strength:

Very sharp. Very saturated with nice warm balance. Very good skin tones. Versatile.

Weakness:

Price. There''s no consumer version, so it makes me look at Provia F which is the winner now.

This is my favourite kodak slide. It''s very sharp and saturated for landscapes and it''s fantastic for skin tones too. It´s a perfect general purpose film.

Strength:

- Outstanding color rendition - Excellent Chrome and grey tonals - Outstanding reds - Fine grain - Support Push process very well (when you need without lost).

Weakness:

- Price (in Canada) - A very little bit to dark in blacks areas.

I use this film since he''s available (1996). To resume is qualities: The E100SW got all good points of any Ekatchrome and Kodachrome without aving their own respective flaws.

Strength:

Skincolor. Saturation

Weakness:

Lattitude.Less then Fuji Sensia II, Velvia

Exposure is critical. My Minolta 500 SI Super should be set to 125 ASA to somewhat under- exposure compared to other films. This film seems to loose some in the highlights

Model Reviewed: Ektachrome E100SW

Strength:

Great for higher altitudes. I have had incredible shots of adobe and blue skys. It really improves the colors of scenes in bluish light. Great for people shots as well.

Weakness:

Try underexposing a half a stop for increased saturation. It responds very well to it.


beautiful colors, no complaints about the grain.
I use it constantly as my color film. It is a great mainstay. A must have for desert and/or mountainous locations. (the light is a bit bluer up here)

Model Reviewed: Ektachrome E100SW

Strength:

I love a warm scene. This film is the one for me for quiet sometime. Its grains are smooth. The contract is very good. I pushed the film to 200 with excellent results. On the print, the results are very good. I've been experimenting with its new sister, E100VS. Skin tone is excellent. Pastels are great.

Weakness:

Depending on the subject. If you want something punchy, try the new E100VS. If you are taking pictures of people...stay with this film.

It has been one of my favorite for quiet sometime. Its grains are very smooth. The color is saturated but not excessive. It's been a great film for potrait. It has a good pushability (up to ISO 200). I will still use this film for potrait, but for landscape...try its sister, E100VS.

Strength:

Like Goldilock's porridge, this stuff is just right. Used outdoors in a 6x7 camera, I get beautiful chromes with the right mix of saturation and warmth.

Weakness:

None.

My favorite all-around film. Provia F is a little finer grained, but E100SW wins on its color pallette.
