First attempt at shooting Ektar 100, on the Mamiya 645 Pro TL. It's nice stuff - very smooth, sharp and colourful, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of the colours. Has a bit of a digital look to it... might be best off saving it for sunsets and Ken Duncan landscapes.
And here are some more Ektar 100 photos, and some more photos taken with this camera.

Hey this is nice.
What do you mean by a "digital" look to it? What did you see with the grain vs E6 stuff ... I do much less colour film than you do so I can't really tell.

Cheers guys.
@ Rob - it just reminds me of night shots on the D300 - it's a combination of the sharpness, the contrast and the colour palette. For example, this photo, done on the same camera and lens with Reala, has a look to it that I think of as typical for C41 film. The Ektar shot doesn't have that feel at all, it reminds me more of this kind of look.
The grain is fine - finest I've ever seen on colour neg. In day shots in dull light, it's barely visible - not quite as smooth as Astia, but probably similar to Velvia 100. In the out of focus bits of night shots, it's a lot more evident... seems to be a fair bit smaller than Reala grain, but lots of it, and not particularly attractive when blown up. So kind of like TMax 400 vs Tri-X grain - you have to blow it up bigger to spot it, but once you do see it, it's not as pleasant to look at. If that makes any sense.
@ Camel - Got this done at Vanbar, but you could get it developed exactly the same at any consumer lab that does C41 in 120, eg Elizabeth Camera.

I rather like that colour and tone - it suits the scene, and the warmth is nice but not overwhelming.
Still doesn't make me like colour neg films though.

And You doing very well in scanning process.. I have big problems in gettin good result in my attempt to scan my film.

Great composition and nice bokeh. I don't mind those colours but then again I am quite keen on vivid colours in photography. Maybe I'll add this to my list of films to try?
