Ektachrome???

[james_w.1]

My friend is a film maker, and was wondering what Ektachrome was like in terms

of contrast and the general look although the film will be used for a motion

picture film. (16mm) Thank you

Higher contrast than any negative stock, but not as high contrast as Kodachrome 40 was. Same stuff as Ektachrome Professional Tungsten films in 35mm. More natural colors than Kodachrome, probably less saturated. Grainier, too.

Ektachrome 64T and the now defunct 7240 news Ektachrome are certainly grainier than K40. Ektachrome 100D, however, definitly gives Kodachrome a run for its money in both graininess and sharpness, many samples I've seen certainly look as good or better than K40. As a suggestion, try asking at the cinematography.com or filmshooting.com forums, you'll probably get a larger response.

I assume he ment Ektachrome 100D (5285), thats the motion picture Ektachrome right now in 16mm.

 

It's very similar to E100VS. Highly saturated colors, and strong contrast. I love its blue colors. Specially the color of the sky on a spring day. Really deep glowing blue, when underexposed a bit.
