Comments about Kodak Kodak Elite Chrome Extra Color EBX 100 Color Slide Film ISO 100, 35mm Size, 36 Exposure, Transpar...:

This is really tops. It's better than just about anything being made today. Better than Velvia in some ways. The dark blue sky after sunset comes out so much better than anything I've seen. Shoot at -1/3 stop for deepest color.

Best choice for scenery. It has more range and much better color than digital. Pick scenes with a lot of color for best results.

Comments about Kodak Kodak Elite Chrome Extra Color EBX 100 Color Slide Film ISO 100, 35mm Size, 36 Exposure, Transpar...:

EBX (the film edge code for Elite Chrome Extra Color) is a simply stunning film, especially for landscapes, Fall Colors, and sunrises/sunsets. It even does good skin tones, so people shots are no problem. This film was Kodaks answer to Velvia, but the 2 films are very different. EBX is a much more versatile film, being ISO 100, and having good skin tones, unlike Velvia. Well, Velvia is a classic, but EBX stands its own with landscapes, and is excellent as a travel film. My all time favorite slide film.

Comments about Kodak Kodak Elite Chrome Extra Color EBX 100 Color Slide Film ISO 100, 35mm Size, 36 Exposure, Transpar...:

I bought this film hoping it might be a replacement for my beloved Kodachrome. It isn't. I do not believe that is anywhere near the quality of film. It even feels thin. The color saturation is average, and the sharpness is not what I am used to. I know this sounds like sour grapes, but I really was disappointed. I rate it as average.

Comments about Kodak Kodak Elite Chrome Extra Color EBX 100 Color Slide Film ISO 100, 35mm Size, 36 Exposure, Transpar...:

Worth the effort and expense of E-6 processing. The color saturation is outstanding. I scan my slides myself to a digital medium in large TIFF files. Playing with the RBG histograms in Aperture 2 it provides much more to work with even more than my digital SLR RAW files. Even with slide film's narrow similar to digital's dynamic range. I use Elite Chrome iso 100 extra color for primarily nature shots of scenery. Color is unbelievable. DO NOT take photos of humans with this film. It is not what it is for because white skin looks a bit orange, and black skin has a red unnatural hue. Does well with blue especially. Sorry, but film isn't dead nor will be anytime soon. I use digital for action, people, and ease. But if you are to do scenery shots--use film. The results are spectacular compared to digital. Also, with this product remember you can take it to a lab and have unbelievable optical (analog) to make large sofa size prints for example.
