I've only used E100S in 120 size so far, but I'm impressed as well. My main film is Provia 100 in both 120 and 35mm, but the new E100S is the first Ektachrome in years that can stand up to Fuji's best. It's biggest advantage in my eyes is that the contrast is slightly lower than Provia. For anyone doing Ciba printing this is a blessing. Otherwise the grain and resolution look comparable and the color pallette is very neutral. Michael
