Kodak Ektar 100 Film Stock
Kodak Ektar 100 has built a reputation as one of the most colorful negative films you can shoot. It first appeared in its modern form in 2008. It has an ultra-fine grain, sharp detail, and a color palette that pushes saturation further than most C-41 films. It’s available in 35mm, 120, and large format sheets, but it only comes in ISO 100, so it’s happiest in bright light or with flash.
Ektar 100 isn’t the most forgiving film out there. If you’ve shot it before, you probably know what I mean. Get the exposure right and it rewards you with rich, beautiful colors, sharpness and a super fine grain. But if you underexpose it, things can shift quickly, often leaving a bluish cast across the image.
Skin tones can also be a little tricky. On lighter, pinkish complexions, Ektar has a tendency to lean into those tones more than some other films. And it’s a film that really shows how much processing and scanning matter. For instance, skin tones tend to look better on Noritsu compared to Frontier, which can give a pinkish tint. You can check this website for comparisons between scanners.
The Kodak Ektar Film Simulation w Sony a67000
This simulation is inspired by Kodak Ektar 100 and aims to bring its bold look into digital. It leans into the film’s trademark colors: deep blues, strong greens, and punchy reds. All while keeping skin tones warm and natural. Even though it doesn't receive as much love as other recipes I've created, Ektar 100 its true to life tones make it super versatile.
Like the film, it shines in bright light. In really makes nature scenes come alive with those deep, saturated colors and sharp detail. While it's great for nature shots, I also love it for street photography since it has those vivid colors and dynamic contrast.
Compared to the real deal, the film simulation is forgiving. You don’t need to worry about tricky exposures or scanning variations. Instead, you get the character of Ektar with the convenience of digital.
