Kodak - properly known as Kodak Eastman - was founded in America in 1888 and dominated the "Western" world of photography for the next 100 years, constantly in fierce rivalry with the Japanese Fuji. Similarly to Fuji the advent of digital photography at the turn of the century caused significant financial problems. A late attempt to win in the compact market was hit by the rise of mobile photography and bankruptcy followed in 2012. Fortunately the photography business has survived under the Kodak Alaris name - based in Hertfordshire, England - and they have delighted the analogue industry by pledging continued support for film production and the promise of bringing back old favourite emulsions.

I was initially indifferent to Ektar, and found my results to be inconsistent. But this was due to me, and not the film. Now I have shot it more frequently, I have fallen in love with the results time and time again.
The way it renders colour, combined with good scans give phenomenal results, and I am looking forward to shooting more and more of it.
Might seem controversial but I do believe this is 100% better than Portra 400! unbelievable results every time!
Ektar 100 is, without doubt, my favourite 120 colour film. And there are a couple of good reasons for this, the main ones are
- Colour. The colour rendering is beautiful, I sometimes think it favours blue and red slightly. That might be my imagination, but it is lovely anyhow.
- Colour tone - Photograph a blue sky and you will know what I mean!
- Fine-grain. I know this is not for everyone, but I love it. The pictures are sharp and scan really well.
- Reciprocity. The reciprocity characteristics make this a good film for pinhole photography.
I find this is a great all-round film and my colour go-to film. And for the price, it is good value. I am an absolute fan!
Absolutely love this film. Bought the box of 5 and I wasn't disappointed. Very easy to use and very forgiving.
Shot off a roll of this film around the county town after getting the Covid Vaccine. It was very sunny so lots of light and harsh shadows. Exposure lattitude was good and got good detail in some of the more challenging scenarios
