Kodak Ektachrome 100<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So far I have only been talking about color-negative film here, so this Kodak Ektachrome 100 was actually the first slide film I exposed. If you don’t know what the differences between color-negative and slide film are, you can have a look here<\/a> first.
\nProcessing (E-6) and scanning (Noritsu) was done at urbanfilmlab in Germany. Pictures you see in this article are from one roll of Ektachrome 100 and a sixth of a roll of 5294 E100.

Ektachrome 100<\/h2>\n

With Slide film a proper exposure is even more crucial, as its dynamic range is a bit limited compared to color-negative film. Out of the three slide films I tried so far (Ektachrome 100, Velvia 100, Provia 100F), I found Ektachrome to have the best dynamic range though.<\/p>\n

The scenes above are all high contrast scenes and I think the film handled those quite well, as we still see details in both, the shadows and the highlights. In terms of colors, this is actually also my favorite Slide film so far, as they look rather neutral to me.<\/p>\n

Of course, some people are looking for the opposite of neutral when shooting film these days, but this is definitely a film stock I would buy again.<\/p>\n

Slide film is not exactly cheap these days, but here you have an alternative option we will talk about in the next section.<\/p>\n

You can also find Kodak E100 5294 film respooled into 35mm canisters. I was wondering if it is exactly the same as Ektachrome 100 so I did some side-by-side comparisons and it does in fact look to me like the filmstocks are identical (in the following example I was apparently not using the same aperture setting, leading to vignetting differences). So if you can find respooled Kodak 5294 E100, you can save some bucks here.<\/p>\n
