Ektar more like absolute nektar. I honestly don't get why people bother with any other stock nowadays. Better than Velvia even.

Ektar is probably my least favourite film stock still available. Requires lots of correcting in post to reduce the blue/cyan tint it carries which is further complicated by how it exaggerates reds. Overall 2/10 film stock.

I don't think it's practical but I'm very glad it exists. It's fun to see how it "interprets" the color in a scene, but I find it hard to predict.
Definitely sticks out from the current Kodak lineup, and it is interesting. I wish there was a faster "interesting" option too.

this is just a badly processed scan. pink tint, black point is too low. the exposure also isn't ideal, it seems to be exposed more for the sky at the expense of foreground detail.

The slightest 1/8 stop overexposure anywhere in the scene seems to emphasize the blue tint. For this reason, I can not use ektar in my film camera, because the aging light meter is always going to be a half stop off in some direction, and using an external light meter properly requires shining it through the lens because I swear to god that ancient thing steals more light than usual.

I domt use it because provia is better in every way. It was made to replace slide film, but it's even more finicky and i process my own e6 so it's whatever. c41 film in general is a retarded waste tbqh

Ektar is SO saturated it's almost gaudy. Looks like I have to shoot Portra if I want realistic colours

Just shoot digital. I don't understand why people are still shooting c41 given what it costs now. $6 Portra was great. $10 Portra was borderline. $16 Portra is just retarded and the price is going up ~17% more in the new year.

Tangible results, historical reenactment, large format field cameras, special occasions

I don’t shoot much film unless loading ISO 400 was a mistake and i want to finish the roll.

I think monochrome really is the way to go with film, although it would be great if there was a cheap colour negative film as well. C41 prices seem to ramp up year after year without any limit

The price hike is artificial. Kodak is purposefully restricting supply and fuji stopped selling bulk packs. The camera industry already saw people willing to pay $3000 on a lens upgrade to save four ounces and resolve a dozen extra line pairs and nearly two thousand on crappy APS-C point and shoots, so they're going to fleece people as hard as possible across the board. If they lose customers to phones they will raise prices more.

I don't care what people say, ektar is the king of c41 film.
From April to October, no other one is better. Then it's time for hp5/TriX pushed +2

Ektar is junk. It has super strange color response. Renders neutral colors all fucked, overdoes the saturation on saturated colors. Renders rocks, sand, etc, red/cyan depending on exposure and color. Why do you like this film again?
