Kodak E100GX slide film compared to Fuji
I shot a sample roll of Kodak’s new Ektachrome E100GX film. It is marketed as a fine-grained and sharp film, clearly to challenge the current dominance of Fuji Velvia and Provia 100F (RDPIII), with similar specs to Provia, at least on paper.
Here are a few small 256×256 crops of 2900dpi scans I made on my Nikon Coolscan IVED scanner. I deliberately exaggerated the grain structure by applying equalization in Photoshop.
Velvia | E100GX |
---|---|
Provia | Provia pushed 2 stops |
Keep in mind this test is highly unscientific since the crops represent different scenes with different contrast levels and colors.
