pvp Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 This to those who use both E100S and E100SW: how much warmer is the E100SW? Does it correspond (more or less) to an 81B? 81C? Or what? Is it possible to duplicate the response using filters with E100S? <P> Searching earlier questions I didn't find much that specifically compared the E100SW to its sister E100S. Inquiring minds want to know! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_atherton2 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 neither will exist for much longer - they've been superceeded by new emulsions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph_walsh2 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 I've never made a direct face off with the two but a Kodak Tech Rep once told me the "W" was like adding 2 Red and 4 Yellow to your filter pack. That would be quite a bit less than an 81B, even less than an 81A, I would think. On a personal preference aside, I use an 81A ALL the time with chromeand switch to 81B when it's overcast.

joseph_walsh2 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 BTW, you can think of an 81A as equiv. to dropping the color temperature about 200 degrees. 81B drops it another 100. HTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce_m._herman1 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 I have used both. I personally find the E100S to be a bit cool for landscape photography. Not only are both E100SW and E100S being replaced by new emulsions, the replacement for E100SW will not be available in sheet film. Some people prefer Provia over the Kodak E100S or E100SW films. My personal experience is that Provia a bit blue in the highlights compared to E100SW. On the positive side (no pun intended), it's mid-tones appear to me to be better rendered. Overall, I prefer the E100SW. Because of the availability in Readyloads/Quickloads, I find that I am now using E100VS and Velvia. I recommend that you purchase 10 sheet boxes of each of the films that you would like to try and do some experimenting. None of them will give you unusable results. But my eyes may see quite differently than yours, and you may abhore my taste in color balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_gooby1 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Be on the lookout for the new 100G and 100GX. They are the new Kodak emulsions replacing the 100S and the 100SW. I always found the 100S like shooting with no filter and the 100SW to be more like an 81..not quite an 81A. I recently shot both the 100G and the 100GX and found them very similar to the 100S and 100SW. I bit less contrasty, but nice color overall.

tim_atherton2 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 "Be on the lookout for the new 100G and 100GX" not in sheet sizes for 100GX. Only 100G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upscan Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Alan: Judging by Kodak's technical data the new Ektachrome 100G will be a product worth trying. It replaces the 100S. It is available in ready load, 4X5. Check Calumet's current sale: http://www.calumetphoto.com/syrinx/pr.jsp?p=si&pi=407&t=e129&US=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_burnley1 Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 E100SW is about 5CC warmer than E100S - in the red and yellow range as indicated above. It is a VERY moderate alteration that is slightly noticeable in the chromes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
