EK100, a free Ektar 100 style filter
Bold, saturated and crisp: EK100 is inspired by Kodak Ektar 100, the color negative film with the cleanest grain and the most vivid palette.
About Kodak Ektar 100 and EK100
Ektar 100 is an ISO 100 color negative film that Kodak describes as having the world's finest grain. It's known for highly saturated, punchy color, especially reds and blues, which makes it a landscape and travel favorite.
EK100 brings rich, clean color to your photos while keeping grain to a minimum. Skies deepen, reds and oranges glow, and contrast is firm without crushing the shadows. Skin can turn warm and ruddy, so it's best for scenery rather than close portraits.
