Kodak Ektar, one of the premier color films on the market, is a fantastic tool for photographers. I'm open thatthis is my favorite film ever, not just on the market, but that I've ever used. It's not perfect. Ektar has strengths and weaknesses. There are functions for which it is well suited and some for which it there exist better choices. But given the cost, flexibility, and capacity, Ektar is a good balance of usability, development ease, and a low cost for the result quality.
