I bought this film for a Vegas trip. As I experiment with a new film, I'm curious what they hype is around ektachrome. As I take photos using this film, I realized that this film is only great during daytime. I don't recommend using this during night time cause it really gets dark like you can't see yourself, unless you use flash then it's ok. I'm not really a fan of this bland blueish dark tone. The picture looks nice though.
I also like how it kinda lightens the skin tones like using flash or when you're in the sunlight. This film also does feel cinematic at the same time. I think this will be my first and last using this film. I have one more ektachrome, but maybe that will only be for personal use for myself and not for special occasions with my family. It's all about preference at the end of the day.

The film was delivered gracefully and was in prime condition when I used it, despite sitting in my fridge for many months. This was my first experience with color reversal film, and I was very impressed with my results! Although the film has decreased latitude due to a lowered ISO, the metering for correct exposure and saturation is easy when you know what your doing (and have a sharp light meter)! Shooting in a midwestern winter isn’t the best for getting diverse color tones and vibrant spectrums, and the blue hues of Ektachrome were fully visible in many shots, even if only lurking in background shadows. Overall, I was very impressed and satisfied with the film and hope Kodak continues to produce and improve the film and its composition. With future practice and experience I believe Ektachrome may become a favorite of mine (the bonus of easily projectable slides always helps).
