Kodak Ektar 100 - 120

Launched in 2008, Ektar 100 was a revitalization of the Kodak Ektar line of films that originally ran from 1989 until 1997. Ektar 100 uses technology from Kodak's Vision line of motion picture films to create a fine grained emulsion with excellent detail. Additionally, Ektar 100 boasts bright, vivid color saturation, making it an ideal landscape film. We love using Ektar in our pinhole cameras because of this saturation, as well as its slow speed. With its popping colors and smooth grain, Ektar is one of our favorite color emulsions currently on the market.

Kodak Ektar 100 120 Sample Gallery - Pentax 67

Staff member, Zeb Andrews, recently made a winter trip up to nearby Mt. Hood with his Pentax 67 loaded up with a roll of Kodak Ektar 100. These are some of the highlights from that roll. Ektar 100 once again proves its value as a landscape film, especially when presented with rich sunset colors.

Kodak Ektar 100 Film Friday Featurette

⁠Kodak Ektar 100 is one of our favorite color films by far. There are several of our staff that would gladly ask for Ektar as their desert island film, should they be marooned out on some small South Pacific island.⁠

⁠

Ektar is the most saturated color negative film still available on the market - it even gives Fuji Velvia a run for its money (though Velvia still wins). In addition to saturation, it has a nice punch to its contrast. It's sharp. It's fine grained. And it is available in 35mm, 120, large format, and, don't forget, Spy Film for Minox as well. That, in and of itself, is a lot to like.⁠

⁠

We use Ektar in much of our personal work and we sell a ton of this film, probably second only to Portra 400 when it comes to color emulsions. It is our go-to film for pinhole photography and long exposure work. If there is a glorious sunset, or a field of flowers begging to be photographed, count on us loading a roll of Ektar. We've even been known to make the occasional portrait using this film - though its saturation can run away with certain skin tones a bit, if you are not careful. ⁠
