No, but it works very well pushed to 200.

Note that it has just been reformulated. The new boxes say "NEW" and
"Finest-grained consumer slide film" or words to that effect. The new Elite
Chrome 100 resembles Kodak Professional E100G; the older one, E100S.

Thanks, Mike. And yes, I did notice the change - the box has a green hue to
it.

Thanks-

Jim

Have you tried it at 100?

Thanks for the humorous and obvious question, Mike. Here's the deal: I
have an F100 and Fm3a and rarely play with the iso setting as they have DX
capability. I wanted to try my 'new" FE2 out (does not have DX ability) and
after finishing a roll of Provia 400F, slapped in the Ektachrome 100.
Whoops forgot to change iso setting.

You should be fine with a two stop push with that film. It would work slightly
better if you had done about +1/3 extra exposure, but should be okay. If your
lab does 1/10 or 1/3 stops push increments, you could ask for 2 1/5, or 2 1/3
push, and the results might be slightly better.

I have used E100VS this way, though I realize that your Elite Chrome 100 is
slightly different. Usually, one stop is no problem, but going further often
requires some extra exposure. The best push results of any film I have used so
far has been from E200, and even that is not linear in response.

OK, have it processed with a 2-stop push and it won't be bad. It will
probably be grainier than Elite Chrome 200, and it will have rather harsh
contrast, but you'll have pictures.
