Kodak Ektachrome E200 is a daylight slide film whose production ceased a very long time ago. I got my hands on a roll (expired in 2009), so let’s see what we are missing out on these days.
Processing (E-6) was done at ProLab in Stuttgart, scanning was done by one of our readers via a DSLR. The pictures you see in this article are from one roll.
I find the dynamic range to be rather typical for a slide film and the grain is medium to low.
Despite nominally being a daylight film, I actually found its colors more likable under artificial light. I have no idea if that is due to it being expired for a long time though.

My name is Bastian and I am your expert here when it comes to ultra wide angle lenses, super fast portrait lenses (ranging from a 50mm f/0.95 to a 200mm f/1.8) and I also have reviewed way too many 35mm lenses.
Don't ask me anything about macro or wildlife shooting though.

Nice
E200 and its predecessor Ektachrome 200 in the eighties and nineties were great, red sensitive films (H@), good for astro photography.
I’ve been going through the back catalog of these articles and what should happen but a new one pops up today! They’re great, by the way, and very helpful. Thanks!
Did you overexpose the film at all to compensate for its being long expired? How was it stored?
Thank you!
