The Art of Taming Ektachrome: Tips and Tricks for Stunning Results
Kodak Ektachrome 100 has been well-known in the photography industry for the past eight decades. For better or worse, it evolved throughout the years in many different stocks and emulsions; Ektachrome 100 VS, Ektachrome G, and Ektachrome 64T, to name a few. You could always find a roll of Ektachrome tucked in a photographer’s bag. But by the beginning of the XXI century, more and more photographers traded their rolls of Ektachrome for digital memory cards.
So it was quite a surprise when 2017 Kodak announced the development of a new emulsion for Ektachrome 100, as in 2012, they had cease production of colour-reversal films. Two years later, in the spring of 2019, I received two rolls of 35mm Kodak Ektachrome 100 in the mail.
I had shot quite a bit of negative film but never dabbled in colour-reversal film. Still, to this day, Ektachrome is the only slide film I’ve used. And looking at the recent announcements from Fujifilm, it is probably time for me to stock a few slide films for their vanishing stocks before Fujifilm film stocks become extinct.
