Kodak E100S

Hello.

What can you tell me about this film? What can I except from it. Is it
better or worse than Provia 100F? Is litter "S" means that this film
is more saturated ?

E100S has been replaced by E100G, so if you have a roll of E100S,
it has expired. If not continuously refrigerated, I would discard it.
If continuously refrigerated, you can expect a film with more grain
than Provia 100F, but nice colors, and less tendency to go blue.
S means saturated in comparison to other Kodak films such as EPN.
SW is its "warm" counterpart. Here's a comparison with sample scans:

I can tell you that E100G has a tendency towards blue. Certain lighting can
avoid it ... but it is a very blue biased film overall.

Rather than use E100G, I would use Fuji Astia or even Sensia.
Rather than use E100GX, I would use Fuji Provia
Rather than use E100VS, I would use Fuji Velvia (not 100F)

In my opinion you will save money and get better results.

That would depend on the intended use.

That would depend on the intended use, although 50 versus 100
one stop slower is one stop slower and RVP goes reddish the longer
exposed for. YMMV.

You save money if the results aren't what one wants?

As Bill says its out of date. My experience with Fuji is if you have a
good lab that knows how to process Fuji is a gorgeous film. If the lab
is Kodak oriented Kodak get better results.

I never liked the E100S film- but did like E100SW.

In my opion you get better results. Saving money is an added plus. My
experience with E100G is alright, but like it was mentioned, it tends towards
blue. The blue cast is very noticable when scanning.

I have processed quite a bit of Fuji Sensia and Provia [and one roll of Astia]
with Qualex via Costco. While they have been known to damage the film from
time to time [that makes me rather upset], the color has been supurb. I can't
see why there should be a difference in labs as far as E-6 development goes
and color. I think handling and perhaps age of the chemicals and such may
differ from lab to lab, but that won't differ from film to film. BTW ... I
had the E100G processed by Qualex and it is from there that I concluded that
it tends towards blue ... especially noticable when scanned.

I never liked the E100S film- but did like E100SW.

The new Fuji 5- and 6-layer slide films (Astia 100F and Velvia 100/100F)
seem to require different development times and/or chemical mixtures, and
might pollute Kodak slide films in the same line. Or so I have heard.
This could explain why E100G would look blue.

There's a lot of information about this in the photo.net film Q&A forum.
I don't use slide film much, so I did not pay close attention.

Even print film processes are not totally standard. Fuji CN-16 generally
produces about 5% higher contrast than Kodak C-41.

That's BS. It would no longer be straight E-6 chemistry and they could not
label it as such. I wasn't able to find anything on a casual google search,
and I suspect you may have been reading hear say [or heresy].
