I just recently shot a roll of Ektar 100, in bright daylight (without any filters) and also indoors (still life) with flash and I was pretty much blown away by the results. This film is quite impressive.
I had them processed at a chain pharmacy (C41, a big plus for Ektar) and scanned the negatives myself at home. Scanned nicely, just slight brightness/contrast adjustment, that was it.
Kodak certainly was serious when they said Ektar has super fine grain....you could probably blow these negatives up to billboard size and still not see any grain.
The colors I'd say are similiar to Portra 160VC, saturated yet with great detail. I shot the roll with a Nikon F100. The fact that you can get such beautiful, superfine grain, colorful shots straight out of the camera with a print film is reason enough for me to order a box of Ektar.
Cheers to Kodak for bringing out a new film in this hyper digital age. As long as there is film available, I don't even want to shoot digital.
With great films like Ektar, Portra, and Provia, on the market, I'm solidly in the film camp for a long time to come.

The Velvia of negative film
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....Read complete review
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.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Ektar 100 Color Negative (Print) Film:
Ektar has pretty fantastic color rendition, the most acceptable short of the flagship color negative films. I love everything about this film, although I'm also a huge analog advocate.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Ektar 100 Color Negative (Print) Film:
It's been a real long time since I have found a color film that really works for me.
I have not shot this in 35mm up through 8x10 sheet film and I am very much in love.
I have scanned this film at 4500 dpi and can see no "Grain". (Grain in quotes as the silver is removed and dye left behind, but I think most will understand my meaning.)
I would love to see this in a 400 speed if they could even come close to it's current characteristics.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Ektar 100 Color Negative (Print) Film:
I ordered several roles of this for use with my 14mm, 28mm and 50mm lens because ISO-400 wasn't doing the job. The Ektar 100 is quite consistent when compared to standard 100. It has the habit of bringing out the per-pals and vi-lot color spectrum, that is not apparent to the eye.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Ektar 100 Color Negative (Print) Film:
It's really hard to say enough good about this film. It's almost enough to make me stop missing Kodachrome. The colors are bright and vibrant without being over saturated. Grain is almost non-existent. It has become my go to color film for everything except portraiture.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Ektar 100 Color Negative (Print) Film:
This film excels in good light. Tends to be a bit blue in the shadows.
I only use this film in a particular type of setting (usually outdoors, harder type of light) and it works well for that. Would't really use it for portraits. It's a bit on the crunchy, contrasty side. Portra is definitely a much better all around film, but when you want the color rendering of this emulsion nothing can replace it. Good alternative to slide film. More latitude and more detail, without overdone color palette. But I don't like slide film very much.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Ektar 100 Color Negative (Print) Film:
I just got my first roll back and I am amazed by the color and the resolution. While an outdoor film, I was quite happy with some of the results I got indoors too.
I still need to see how it scans, but the prints are brilliant.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Ektar 100 Color Negative (Print) Film:
I have been a fuji man for the last five years, but I decided to try this film out on a whim. Best decision I've made in forever! I shoot this in both 120 and 35mm and am consistently in love with the results. The grain is impeccably fine and the tonal range is exceptional. Just be careful- overexposure causes quite a bit of color saturation, which some people love, and some people hate. Definitely try a few rolls.
