i love this film but i acidentally left it in my camera when i was shooting at night in the dark and it was also a few years expired so here is how my shots came out, very blue tone and some underexposed of course with it being 100 iso. still looks nice, definitley way better for daytime

Ektachrome is a challenge, but I think that challenge can be overstated. I’ve heard people say that you need to specially meter for highlights, shadows, find a special mid point - none of this I found necessary in the end. If you shoot with an awareness that the film will only manage so much space between your lightest and darkest points, and just follow your camera’s meter you will probably be fine - bracket if unsure. What I did find was that even a stop under or over exposed the film will resolve beautifully with editing. The colours and sharpness are of course amazing, but the real special bit is getting your film back, holding it up to the light, and seeing your images. It’s a special feeling.

First time I tried E100 was in a very cheap 90s point and shoot camera that got blasted through a CT scanner/X-ray machine 4 times. It suffered and the colours and contrast were faded (not to mention washed out because of the cheap plastic lens - most expensive film in the cheapest camera!) but I could still see still potential. The fine grain really saved it, and I was able to do some fixing in post. The colour was all there to be brought out.

More recently had a second go with my Olympus OM101 and was blwon away by the gorgeous details and vibrant colour. I think I prefer this kind of saturation over Kodak's Ektar 100, it really is like nothing else. You really do have to treat it like you're shooting a movie, so much detail with the ultrafine grain, but retains the magical texture of film. Expensive film to buy and process, but 100% worth treating yourself to this every once in a while if you're going somewhere sunny and colourful.

I took a roll of Kodak E100 with me along in my kitbag to Namibia, where many cameras struggle with the blues of the sky and orange of the sand.

The way that this film remained vibrant and true was incredible.

I've just recently shot Ektachrome for the first time ever in my life, and I'm incredibly pleased with the result! Sharp, crisp colours, fine grain, and yet it still manages to give a warm quality to your photos. Even though it's only 100 ISO, it gave awesome results when shooting at night without tripod. In this case, though, it's best to have a lot of artificial light available.
