I saw the Mapplethorpe retrospective when it was held at the Ghetty in 2013. It changed my life. The pictures, when seen in person, really made you look. His roses were technically perfect, never seen such a beautiful print since. They had a large silver-gelatin print of Diane Arbus's Twins. They had William Eggleston's original Tricycle print that used dye transfer to make the print, it looked like a water color, floating just above the paper. I walked out of the exhibit for golden hour and I was the saddest person on the tram because I did not have a camera to catch the sun setting behind downtown LA. I picked up my film cameras after that, it seemed like the right thing to do. Pushing Ektar reminds me of that Eggelston. I've also taken to pushing everything one stop because I like darker shadows.

[@michaelleungfilms]

I like the airy look that the box speed supplies but that contrast on the +3 is also Crispyyy. Well done my friend!

[@BadFlashes]

Thanks duder :) Both really does preform lovely. 😆☺️

[@DLivingston]

Ektar pushed is something I have never heard. Wow. I also have been slacking. I say Ektar is one of my favorites and I havnt shot a roll in 120 yet and a 35mm in 2 years. Oops. Okay, I like Pushed better after those first couple shots. The grain seems to be very fine even pushed, im shocked tbh. The addition of blue is shocking and or interesting, wouldnlt expect that. Good day sir

[@BadFlashes]

Thanks yo! Dude Ektar for life …. It’s so so so good. 😋😋😋

[@JamieMPhoto]

I've pushed it here and there, and enjoy seeing the real world examples! I'll *probably* stick to box speed, but Ektar is definitely one of my favorites, and I like that this is proof it's more versatile than people say it is.

[@BadFlashes]

I mean right. I dig it at box so much but yeah it’s great all around.

[@xpost92]

Loved this. I was an architecture student in California and visited Getty centre a few times and took a bunch of shots. This was when it just opened in 98. I love ektar, printing on enlarger I find it very difficult focusing on grain with my mamiya 7

[@BadFlashes]

Oh yeah I can see that. I haven’t printed with it yet. But down toooo

[@tonymagrogan]

I may push Ektar like this on my pinhole photos. Since pinhole shots are more like paintings than photos, you want saturation and really blue skies. I’ll try that out with and without a polarizer

[@BadFlashes]

Oh that’s awesome

[@RodUSMC75]

I dig the contrast. I has a very movie film look to it pushed to 800.

[@exploresouthwest]

1:44 Whaaaaaat! I love the pushed image, I thought this was just going to be a waste of $10 of film but I want to try it now. Maybe dialing it back to 2 stops if it low golden hour light, but I like what it does for stronger mid-day light.

[@BadFlashes]

Yeah for sure. Two stops would be cool for sure! It works well for sure.

Awesome glad you like it! It is kinda far to push but I think it worked well. Glad you agreed :)

[@Dennis94913]

It seems like ektar has enough shadow detail at box speed that pushing it 3 stops doesnt really degrade the image. I prefer the pushed negative since it has a cinematic vibe to it where shadow-midtone of the image has punchy saturation. Love the episode!

[@BadFlashes]

Aw thanks! Pushing is fun! The shadows rock

[@behindeachfilmgrain]

I have to agree with you on that Caleb! Shooting portraits on Ektar 100 Is great! Cheaper than Portra and has great color tones that just work in my work flow. Not sure about pushing it to ASA 800 but definitely shoot it a box speed for better results. Great looking location shoot though!

Yeah I get that for sure. Pushing was just to see how it handled. But yeah ektar is great

Hey there Caleb. I will be purchasing my first rolls of 120 film soon. I caved to my desire and used some of my Christmas bonus to pick up a bargain priced Pentax 645. Your results are swaying me towards Ektar. I will probably only shoot a couple rolls a year so a 5 pack will last me a while. I am debating between the Fuji Pro 400H, Ektar and the Portra 160. I was very happy with the less grainy 35mm Fuji Superia 400 compared to Kodak Gold and Kodak Portra 400. I heard a rumor that the new Fuji Pro 400H brought back in 2021-2022 is rebranded Portra 400. Thanks

[@secularnevrosis]

I find Ektar to be a really great film. If shot in medium format like 6x6 or 6x9 its truly amazing. With all the different channels discussing analoge film, I would like to offer a good way of showing the real potential of different films. Instead of scanning the negatives and process them digitally you process them as they should be processed. Make a real photo print in A4 size, or close. Then scan the photo in a really good scanner. That way its more close to what the film actually can offer, in terms of grain and contrast. Films are made to be printed in a lab on real paper. If you try this way you will get results that are better.

[@BadFlashes]

Trust me that’s my next step and forte into the future

[@secularnevrosis]

@@BadFlashes Cool. It's more job and the cost is higher. But if we ever want a real comparison of picture quality between digital and analog. That is the good way of doing it. I'll be watching :)

[@ldstirling]

Caleb, I just bought a 55-110mm f/4.5 lens for my M645. I wanted it mostly for the wide end of the zoom range, because I wasn't willing to spend $250-300 for a 55mm f/2.8. Coupled with my 80mm f/2.8 and my 150mm f/3.5, I think I have a wonderful 3-lens kit for 6x4.5. FWIW, the 55-110mm lens cost $125, which includes $30 for shipping.

A bit of info that you may also be interested in is that Ektar does not have reciprocity failure upto 10 seconds. I know the Kodak data sheet doesn't commit to this but like Ektachrome (the hint is in the name). Myth that i have heard and only seen on a reciprocity failure calculator ...... so if your feeling dangerous ... just sayin

[@BadFlashes]

Do it. So so good. And no prob :)

[@BerndtOtto]

What I personally see from your pictures is, that all box speed pictures seem to be slightly overexposed ( maybe about one stop ), while the pushed film looks very accurately exposed to me. That’s kind of interesting. Maybe an issue of your exposure meter from the camera ? But anyway … great experiment !!! Never expected the pushed pictures look so awesome. So, why still buy 800 ISO film ?

[@BadFlashes]

True true. Maybe I should add pushed film to my lineup more often :)

[@thesecretlifeofmichal]

I always found it interesting, that you and Jason (Jason even more so haha) dissed Ektar and I couldn't get my head around it why.. I loved the outcome from both of you and even my own go at it in Greece. Great job on those pics. Box wins for me overall. 🤔 Considering it's a 100 iso film, it totally slaps everything else in beauty while shot at all around sunny and white/blue-ish place (like Greece.. Or the Getty), so great choice of location, Caleb, haha.

[@BadFlashes]

Haha you know back isn’t he day I just didn’t know better… but now i know 🤙🏼 Box does win and I can see how it would look amazing in Greece.

[@dennisvanleent1]

Seem to have a like slide filmism look when pushed. I like the look, but wouldn't push it either though. Overexpising Ektar by 1 stop (and 2) at box speed is something I'm trying out right now. I noticed before Ektar seems to get a bit of a warm creamy tone to it when overexposed, but I'll hope to figure out soon how that works out.

[@BadFlashes]

Oh nice. Really it works so many ways and it’s amazing 🚀🚀🚀🚀

Pushing Ektar to 3200 sounds like something the madlad Attic Darkroom would do.

[@BadFlashes]

[@FranklinGervacio]

I love Ektar to death and I too have heard repeatedly that it's not good for portraits. I think the channel Pushing Film has a really good video on why Ektar is his favorite film stock and he makes a really good point that in his experience when you shoot people with fairer/lighter skin Ektar can render them as reddish but when you shoot people with darker skin tones it makes it look even better. He posits a theory that this red shift on whiter skin is why Portra had been preferred for portraits and Ektar ended up getting a bad rap. I've confirmed this myself with photos of friends and I still prefer Ektar over Portra due to the contrast and color saturation.

[@BadFlashes]

Oh that’s interesting. Overall can’t go wrong!!!! I feels that

[@jasonhowell7763]

Okay, I'm definitely doing that. I've got some 120 ektar kicking around. Might just stop with a +2, since my TLR doesn't have that fast of a shutter

[@BadFlashes]

[@SPTSuperSprinter156]

I think I personally prefer this film at box speed, because of the warmer tones and less contrast. The pushed shots are starting to remind me of the times I pushed film too far or shot expired.

[@BadFlashes]

[@actionimagesphotography]

[@ThanosPal]

How did you pushed by iso on a film camera? This value is only changes the light meter indicators accordingly.. you cannot Change the sensitivity of the physical film.. only by the exp compensation dial you are able to push.. that’s why the shots are same. You would have noticed bigger changes by pushing ektar by +3exp

[@BadFlashes]

Pushing is a process of underexposing the film x number of stops and compensating with developer, which is the process I had done. There was definitely a difference in the film negative and the images overall. But your right. Not by much

[@ss-5813]

Awesome episode, didn't know ektar can be pushed 3 stops. I have had great expereince with 35mm, just ordered few 120s now.

[@MysticFogGarden]

I am liking consumer grade more than chrome and E6 film, so what about factoring on polar or ND lens and pulling, on 100 , I dont think I could shoot at compensating 3 min at 5 iso. Does Skylight filter remove blue tones on Ektar....Thanks

[@BadFlashes]

I’m not sure about that… might have to try sometime.

[@Al_Bx]

I don't know if it's scanning settings or editing or film lab but your ektar colors (box speed) are vastly different from those of our boy Jason. His are way more blue/magenta, yours are on the portra side of things. For the record I prefer yours and my one roll ever ended somewhere in between the two of you (lab dev+scan+print)

[@BadFlashes]

Yeah I do agree that the box speed looks a lot different then usual. I think it might have a lot to do with the time of day as well but maybe the scanning. Not sure.

[@jd5787]

Hi! Totally noob with manual cameras... I am getting a OM 2n to try my hand at manual photo taking. Would you recommend a guide on how to choose film please? Does the number after the name (like ektar 100) = Iso sensitivity? Ie: use a 100 or 160 in bright light situations and a 400 or above in dark situations? (in which case : how do you select Iso on a manual camera if your Iso is kind of embedded in the film). Thank you!

[@BadFlashes]

You’re exactly right Ektar 100 is 100 speed film or 100 iso film portra 400 os 400 iso film. I can’t really answer the second portion of that question since it has a lot to do with the camera that you are using. If it has a Light Meter you’ll want to dial in your ISO to the film speed …if it doesn’t have a Light Meter then you don’t have to do anything with the film speed on the camera

[@jd5787]

@@BadFlashes thanks! OK, I thought the film Iso and the Iso setting on camera would be different. If I understand correctly : align the Iso on camera to the Iso of the film selected. (the om 2n has a light meter 😊). Off to looking for some ektar and portra film now 👍😉

[@rftwknd3893]

I just posted a video that showed Ektar pushed 2 stops in-camera but developed at box. Saturation is insane.

Don’t worry. In the works. 🥲

[@mikejankowski6321]

I liked just the IDEA of Ektar when it first came out. Shot it some, never got results I didn't like. Never pushed it. I like your bravery. So the increased saturation is appealing, but the color shifts are not so much. I like what it did to the sky, but I am not a big fan of crushing shadows in color, at least when there is meaningful detail. And a color shift in the shadows is not welcome. So, can you take box exposures and do minimal editing to get the push results (or better) or is pushing a simple albeit more expensive path to the same thing? If you are stuck with Ektar in low light, can you push to get your images and then make easy compensations during edit to balance it out? Or is this something kids should not try at home?

[@spencersanderson4590]

Does changing the dial on the camera from 100 to 800 actually have any effect or does the change come from shooting with the settings you’d shoot with 800 film and then developing longer.

I almost always push ektar. 1 or 2 stops is less extreme, but gives slightly better tone and contrast than box. However... pushing expired ektar goes downhill fast.
