I'll be anxious to try some in 120.

Anyone compared Ektachrome to Portra 160/400? I was going to do a proper, controlled studio test this week but ran out of time!

I'm especially curious to see how they render skin tones. Both seem great from my direct experience but would love to know if anyone did a proper comparison.

Has anyone seen any update any when this will start shipping? The press release from Dec 10th said it would ship in 10 days which would suck as it will not arrive in time for Xmas...

Looks like they are now both available on B&H's site:

Was in the local camera store today, and walked out with a nice, shiny box of E100 in 120, ex. 2/2022. Apparently they just got it in stock yesterday.

 

The guy who sold it to me also hit me with "I love it when you come in and buy film." The reason for him saying that most of their business is in single rolls, so they're constantly dealing with opening the 5 roll boxes of 120 and dealing with complaints of "why don't we get a box." Unless I'm in a pinch and all they have is a partial box, I always buy 120 buy the full box, and usually buy 35mm by the shrink wrapped 10-roll brick.

You gotta tell me, how did the rolls turn out?

Unfortunately, I've been side-tracked and haven't shot any yet. I'll try to this week, although I don't know where I can have it processed at this very moment with Dwayne's and several other labs shut down.
