    Ektar 100 is among the best 35mm films available today. It is a very fine grained film which produces super sharp images. I love the deep color saturation and contrast as well. I disagree with the review that states that Ektar doesn't do well at night as I use it pretty routinely for night photos with great results. I don't consider Reala to be in the same class as Ektar. I also find it very forgiving as I have exposed it at ASA 400 and still got acceptable results. The colors went super-saturated though. This film is great for strobist work and product shots due to it's sharpness. I think it is great for portraits as well even though you probably would benefit from softening the sharpness down some. I've compared results to a D7000, D300 and other digital cameras and they still aren't on par with Ektar. I also appreciate how flat it lays on my Epson V700 scanner; very well behaved! I use this film a lot on several different film cameras and lens combinations. I have several examples on my flickr page: username "greauxe" then search for "ektar" from my photostream

    If you are looking for a high contrast, highly saturated negative film this is it. To me this film has too much contrast and you really have to watch yourself in high contrast situations. The film also does not have much exposure range making it similar to transparency film.

    I used 2 rolls and was not too pleased with it but I had used the old Ektar 25 years ago and it's performance was similar to Ektar 100.

    I will try the film again but will be more careful from an exposure atandpoint. For now I will use Porta 160.

          If you want color negative film, and ISO 100 is fast enough, this is a great choice. Colors are natural, and this is Kodak's most fine grain color negative film.

                    I've seen many fine digital generated pictures but still this "old fashioned" 35 mm color negative film from Kodak provides subtle differances in color and tone, and freedom from digital artifacts. Even though film doesn't provide the flexibity of digital, it still makes photographs that are most satisfying.

                      We use this film when shooting anything where we want the color to really glow (think bride's bouquet). We use Portra 160 for portraiture, but love this for about everything else. Ektar delivers beautiful, glowing colors and the 100 ISO is our favorite speed for medium to bright lighting. Fine grain, used in Konica film camera circa 1980.

                            I was looking for a good medium speed color film and this caught my eye. I did a test roll and those colors just came out. I did some long exposures over 5 minutes, but the color shift was too great to blue to much. The use of fill flash is recommended from my use and shadow detail is good as well.

                                  I had previously used off the shelf Kodak film for a quick holiday project. Results were terrible and was concerned my Nikon F5 was going on the fritz. Bought the Ektar 100 film to do some test shots. Camera performed flawlessly as did the Ektar film. Always check expiration dates on film if you pick up at your local store. However, my plans are to purchase my film from BH Photo...they're quick and film is fresh.

                                        Great for outdoor color exposures. The grain on this film is 100x more clear than other basic color films. I would recommend this to anyone shooting 35mm SLR as their most basic choice of color film.

                                          Used to shoot outdoors and car shows in bright and combined light.Shows good exposure lattitude and very fine grain.Very true color with better saturation than other print films that are left.

                                                I enjoy using this film for portrait work and general photography. The images are truly outstanding. Those who are in the digital age -- and never used film -- are constantly amazed at the quality of the images with the Ektar 100.

                                                The personnel at B&H are always very helpful. I live 1000 miles away, yet the staff always remembers me and gives me personal attention.

                                                      As said in many places, the film is very fine grain and has beautiful color palette. I took several photos of my family, overexposed 0.5-1 stops. The scans gave a creamy look of the skin tones. Very pleased!

                                                      Ektar 100 is among the best 35mm films available today. It is a very fine grained film which produces super sharp images. I love the deep color saturation and contrast as well. I disagree with the review that states that Ektar doesn't do well at night as I use it pretty routinely for night photos with great results. I don't consider Reala to be in the same class as Ektar. I also find it very forgiving as I have exposed it at ASA 400 and still got acceptable results. The colors went super-saturated though. This film is great for strobist work and product shots due to it's sharpness. I think it is great for portraits as well even though you probably would benefit from softening the sharpness down some. I've compared results to a D7000, D300 and other digital cameras and they still aren't on par with Ektar. I also appreciate how flat it lays on my Epson V700 scanner; very well behaved! I use this film a lot on several different film cameras and lens combinations. I have several examples on my flickr page: username "greauxe" then search for "ektar" from my photostream

                                                              Honest true color. I used it outside, photos of clear blue lakes. and pine trees. Used the exposure meter in my Nikon F-2, and all photos were exposed correctly, the speed was right on, 100.
