A First Taste of Kodacolor 100 Through My Nikon F3/T

 Eastman Kodak has been very busy with their distribution channels and dropped all sorts of film some familiar, some re-named due to Alaris holding onto the Tmax and Portra brand names. In the middle of the product re-patriation Kodak introduced Kodacolor 100 which intrigued me. My friend Ori shot with the film and swears up and down it's not Kodak Alaris Pro Image 100, something else, a tweaked verion of Lomo 100 C-41 maybe? I've shot my share of Pro Image 100 over the years, I find it to be a more neutral medium speed film compared to the very punchy Ektar 100. 

From my last stint with Pro Image 100 was in May with my Spotmatic II and Super Multi Coated Takumar glass, the resutls were quite neutral, pleasant and just delivers. Kodacolor 100 has a bit more punch, not Ektar 100 saturation but there's a bit more. I can see why my friend Ori likes this film a lot. I do too. 

Kodacolor 100 is easy to scan, I just use the Pro Image 100 setting in Silverfast with very minimal colour correction in Lightroom. In this case which one do I prefer? I have more Pro Image 100 in my fridge at present but I think over time, I'm switching over to Kodacolor 100. 

Camea: Nikon F3/T, Nikkor AIS lenses. 

Film: Kodak Kodacolor 100.
