as i promised, here you have few shots from Ektar100. All is terrible, because i dont have film scanner right now and Kodak Lab makes digital prints (i choose 15x10cm) with TERRIBLE quality (visible raster, all photos have too much blue, definitely artificial problem with prints) and not even one is sharp. So right now i want present to you beatiful colors (ignore blue, please  ) from Ektar and i believe that Kodak is right with "world finest grain" slogan. you can find on pictures little "unsharp mask" effects, it was the only way to not have terribly smoothed scans. In two weeks i might have scans from film scanner.

2. yes, peoples live there

Thank you for these previews!
I am very interested in this film. I have been a Ektar 25 user in the past.
I see nothing really wrong with the sharpness in the samples.
The blue cast is really strong, I have tried to slightly rebalance one of your shots in Photoshop:
For sure with some proper lab treatment the film looks really promising!

These last three are dynamite! VERY nice scans, looks like Ektar 100 is very compatible with scanning. The color is tremendous, and I don't see any "grain". Nice.
