Ektachrome

Ektachrome is a photographic film for the production of slides, which was invented by Kodak. It differs from the only a few years older Kodachrome fact that the required dyes are already included in the film. This allows the film based on the simpler and faster Eastman -color color reversal process (eg, E-6 ) process - which makes him the prototype of the modern slide film.

History

Distinction must be made between different individual products, such as the

Ektachrome Commercial ( since 1958 ),
Ektachrome EF (1965-1975),
Ektachrome ER (1960-1965),
Ektachrome MS ( 1963 to about 1977),
Ektachrome Print Film (since 1971),
Ektachrome R Print Film ( since 1966),
Ektachrome Video News ( since 1975).

The Ektachrome color reversal film was still in production until March 2012. Then Kodak announced due to the ever declining sales to the cessation of production of slide film, with the expectation that existing stocks will be sold off in 6-9 months. This applies to all slide films until then manufactured by Kodak, such as Ektachrome 100 G and the Ektachrome 100 VS and the Elite Chrome Extra Color 100

Resolution

The granularity is expressed as RMS value. The resolving power was measured at different object contrast ( 1.6:1 and 1000:1 ) and is specified in lines per millimeter.
