Comment - I'm trying to persevere with shooting Ektar 100. I like it, but find it difficult to expose correctly a lot of the time. Slowly I'm getting better results, and I think a lot of it comes down to the editing and white balancing correctly in post. Ektar's claim to fame is its saturated and wild-looking colours. It's not good film stock for any sort of people/skin tone type shots as people's faces end up looking red, but for the kind of photos I like taking (of "things") while wandering around the streets... it's perfect.
The Tamron lenses and their inbuilt stabilisation come in handy for shooting 100-speed films like Ektar. I can get a sharp shot with the 35mm & 45mm lenses using shutter speeds as low as 1/15 sec. I wouldn't be able to shoot this film at 7 am otherwise.
