Summary
this is the only film i will use for food photography .ive tested everything and you dont want your pictures of food the wrong colour ,especially the acidy unnatural colours of modern films .true colour is being forgotton about , and modern films are all about strong vivid colous and un natural built in contrast that id rather create with my lighting.
Strengths
neutral colours and natural contrast excellent in the studio ,not for portraits ,good outdoors in any conditions.
Weaknesses
a bit on the blue side in the shaddow areas. 64 a pain ,should be 100.

Summary
This has been the best film I've ever shot with. It is a reversal film, so you don't have the latitude that you might be used to with other films. Best place I was able to find 64 ISO was, believe it or not, Target. The past month, I haven't been able to find it for below $6, unlike Target. I don't htink their carrying it anymore. PLEASE pick it up while you still can! Have great Arboretum pic's from my last roll. Send it off through Sam's (takes 2 weeks), but only costs $3.28 for 24 exp. and 4.28 for 36exp! Can't beat that!
Strengths
If you like brilliant colors and don't mind a slow film, this is for you. Very archival and stable slide film.
Weaknesses
Contrasty. Very limited with range.

Summary
I'm not a big fan of this film. I found it to be quite grainy for its speed (faster films like E100 and even E200 have finer grain). The color saturation was pretty good, but overall the film had a very "cool" cast and dark areas exhibited a very unpleasant blue cast with excessive grain.
Weaknesses
Grainy. Overpriced. Blue cast.

Summary
I got this outdated film on Ebay without knowning the quality or the characteristics of the film. I was amazed the truefulness of the color this film provides. The skin tones are natural. And it does not distort the colors. The grains are extra fine for enlargements. I love this film.
Strengths
True color.
Weaknesses
Slow speed but what can you do? Maybe try out Fuji Provia 400F.

Summary
Examining my EPR slides makes me wonder why Kodak keeps changing its Ektachrome emulsions. Is it just to annoy us? EPR and EPX made a super pair, and still look better than their current E100S siblings - the latter's greens are simply too "acid" and blues too strident.
Strengths
Well integrated tonal palette which seems "warm" despite tendency to cool greens. Wonderfully natural skies, and fine reds and browns for rocks, building materials, etc. Neutral in winter snowscapes. Fine grained and sharp.
Weaknesses
Tendency for greens to over-saturate in cloudy weather - which emphasises the slight coolness of the pallette. 80 ISO seems better than 64.

K25 still "the classic". Of the E-6s, EPR remains one of the best; but it is a pity Kodak in its wisdom terminated EPX. In my experience EPX was the best E-6 film ever.
Customer Service
E-6 service is pretty universal!
