[Ausloco] New Slide Films Review



Ausloco Discussion Group,
                                       I have recently tried two new Kodak slide films and found the results most impressive. I might add that these comments might help someone and I do not wish to get into a slanging match about the "best" slide film. One man's cake is another man's poison! Normally I use Fuji Sensia 11.
 
Elite Chrome Extra Colour 100ASA:
 
The amateur version of the two emulsions. Most impressive.
Excellent colours with no colour cast. Very sharp and handles contrasty scenes well. Excellent for FreightCorp blue and Freight Australia green. Although it says "extra colour" this is quite natural and not super saturated. Grain is very fine.
 
Ektachrome E100VS Professional Film:
 
Superb. The sharpness is unbelievable. No colour cast and also handles contrasty scenes well. Also handles the new liveries excellently. Like the amateur version does not over saturate. Very fine grain. The only drawback is the higher cost of the film.
 
I rated both at 125ASA but you would have to make your own tests.
 
Hoping this information is of use and does not stir up controversy. If anyone is interested I can offer some comments on the two C41 process Black and White films which are highly regarded in professional circles.
 
Regards,
Peter Booth
