KODAK EKTAR KODACOLOR •••1' GOLD FILMS HONORS Namic Negative by Jack and Sue Drafahl EKTAR If you liked the first two Ektar films Ko- dak released earlier this year, then you're going to love the two newest additions to this exciting film family. Kodak just released Ektar 25 Professional, and the medium-speed Ektar 125. Both films are modeled after the first two films, qi Ektar 25 and Ektar 1000, but boast An Unqualified, \ several improvements. EKTAR 25 PROFESSIONAL FILM Categorically Loud, § The best way to describe the differ- Rave Review! \ Ektar 125 is an extremely practical film, with much wider exposure latitude than the slower 25-speed Ektars. ence between Ektar 25 and the new professional version is to use a correla- tion we sometimes give our photo stu- dents. If you went to the finest winery, and selected their top-of-the-line vin- tage, you would be selecting Ektar 25. Now, if you were to select those few bottles that were aged to absolute per- fection, then you would be selecting Ektar 25 Professional. Kodak's manufacturing plant sees to it that all Ektar 25 film must fall within the tight tolerances they set for each distinct layer of film. When the specifications on a certain emulsion are found to be a perfect match in all areas, it becomes Ektar 25 Profession- al, and is refrigerated at that point. This better-than-best film is recom- mended for the professional photogra- pher demanding large enlargements from a 35mm negative. The serious 80 PHOTOgraphic/September 1989 EKTAR its exposure latitude than Kodak's Ko- dacolor Gold films. Ektar 25 Profes- sional uses the same T-grain and cubic emulsions found in Ektar 25, making it some of the finest color negative film in the world. Because of the critical ag- ing required in the Ektar 25 Profes- sional, refrigeration is required until use, allowing consistent results from roll to roll. FIELD TESTING EKTAR 25 PROFESSIONAL PROFESSIONAL amateur may find this film a little It has already been proven that Ek- harder to use because of its slower ISO tar 25 is a viable film for use in profes- and because the film is less forgiving in sional situations where rich accurate Think of Ektar 25 Professional as a best-of-the-best emulsion, aged to perfection, and then refrigerated to suspend the perfection. color, sharpness, and fine grain are needed. The only problem could possi- bly occur when consistent results from roll to roll are required. This is where Ektar 25 Professional comes into play. Because each roll is refrigerated at the point when all specifications are per- fect, the professional can shoot from one roll to the next, without worry of color shift. Even the smallest differ- ence in emulsions may create a slight color shift, especially when photo- graphing subjects in the studio on a white background. But Kodak tries to anticipate the critical needs of the pro- fessional, which differ from those of even the most serious amateur. Ektar 25 Professional really excels in scenic and landscape photography, too. Extremely fine grain, high con- trast, excellent color balance, and con- sistency all contribute to your final dy- PHOTOgraphic/September 1989 81 • •• f •••i 1 KODAK EKTAR KODACOLOR •••1' GOLD FILMS HONORS namic negative.

    KODAK MILESTONES 1879 - Eastman invented an emulsion-coating machine which enabled him to mass- produce photographic dry plates. 1880 - Eastman began commercial production of dry plates in a rented loft of a building in Rochester, N.Y. 1881 - In January, Eastman and Henry A. Strong (a family friend and buggy-whip manufacturer) formed a partnership known as the Eastman Dry Plate Company. ♦ In September, Eastman quit his job as a bank clerk to devote his full time to the business. 1883 - The Eastman Dry Plate Company completed transfer of operations to a four- story building at what is now 343 State Street, Rochester, NY, the company's worldwide headquarters. 1884 - The business was changed from a partnership to a $200,000 corporation with 14 shareowners when the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company was formed. ♦ EASTMAN Negative Paper was introduced. ♦ Eastman and William H. Walker, an associate, invented a roll holder for negative papers. 1885 - EASTMAN American Film was introduced - the first transparent photographic "film" as we know it today. ♦ The company opened a wholesale office in London, England. 1886 - George Eastman became one of the first American industrialists to employ a full- time research scientist to aid in the commercialization of a flexible, transparent film base. 1888 - The name "Kodak" was born and the KODAK camera was placed on the market, with the slogan, "You press the button - we do the rest." This was the birth of snapshot photography, as millions of amateur picture-takers know it today. 1889 - The first commercial transparent roll film, perfected by Eastman and his research chemist, was put on the market.
