Q: Why would I choose this product over a negative stock?

A: Ektachrome 100D is another tool cinematographers can use to explore their creativity. The look offered is contrasty and super-saturated right out of the camera, and promotes real vibrancy and edginess in a telecine transfer. The stock can be manipulated in several ways not possible with negatives allowing for new exploration of creative expression.

Q: How does the new Ektachrome 100D, 7285, compare to the older Kodak 160D reversal stock, 7239?

A: Well, the first and most obvious difference between these stocks is their design background. The older 160D is a staple of the VNF reversal motion picture line while the new 100D is built off of the very successful Ektachrome professional and consumer still reversal film line. The 7239 stock is intended for processing in VNF-1 chemistries; the 7285 stock is designed for E6 chemistry. Both films offer positive images through their respective processes with general contrast positions that are quite similar.

From there, though, the similarities really end. First, 7285 is all about colour. The reproduction colour saturation in 7285 far exceeds that in 7239. 7285 is designed to exaggerate colour while maintaining balanced flesh tones where as 7239 has more accurate colour reproduction across the gamut in mind. Second, 7285 benefits from improved neutrality across the tone scale from black to white and an enhanced flesh-to-neutral balance. Third, 7285 has incorporated Kodak's very latest sharpness technology leading to images considerably cleaner and clearer than those available from 7239. Finally, new T-grain technology enables 7285 to reproduce images with less grain than 7239. All in all, these various enhancements can be attributed to the technical advancements realized between the release of the older VNF stock and the introduction of Ektachrome 100D. With 7285, you're getting Kodak's very latest reversal film technology.

*The can says 25 ft Double 8mm on the label and it can be confusing because there is actually 50ft on these reels. When you purchased it, it had one 25ft roll of 16mm film in the can. You shoot one side of the 25 foot roll and then take the film out turn it over, put it back in and shoot the other side of 25 foot roll. We then split the 25 feet of 16mm film into one 50 foot roll of 8mm film. So when you receive your processed film back the 3" reel will have 50ft. of 8mm film on it.

Handling - Load and unload your camera in low light. The light side of the film must face the camera lens. Before closing the camera, run 3 or 4 inches of film to be sure the film advances properly and is securely attached to the take up spool. Some cameras, such as the Canon Zoom 8, will not advance film unless the film door is closed. For cameras that perform in this manner, you should manually advance the film by turning the spools with your fingers. To expose the film completely, run it through your camera twice. The first time you will expose 25 feet along half its width. When the film has been through your camera once, reload the film into the camera and run it through a second time to expose the other half. When you have exposed both halves of the roll, replace the film in the can and return it to us.
