[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I don't normally use transparency film these days but last weekend a friend and I were looking to evaluate some Ektachrome for a project he's doing. I loaded up with some E100SW, 200 Elite, and my usual Tri-X. Shot each roll, one after another, in the same area of the same subjects. The Tri-X is razor sharp, the E100SW is pretty good, the 200 Elite was awful. I'd never seen such a huge difference in film resolution. Also, the contrast of the 200 Elite makes it nearly unusable for scenics. Has anyone else had similar experience to this? And can anyone suggest a 200 speed transparency film that will have decent resolution? We'll probably stick with the E100SW over faster films, but it's nice to have the option. Thanks! Godfrey
