I miss the ISO 25 version of this film, it was the greatest consumer film ever. The pictures were so detailed, perfectly contrasted, beautifully colored, and could be blown up to poster size with no problem. With rare exception, the manufacturers have yet to surpass Ektar, particularly with regard to resolution. The current Ultra Color series does a pretty good job with colors, but just can't match that resolution of the old 25. I'm not holding out any hope that Kodak will develop any more films (even a different speed of a current film) with the onset of the digital age.
Can anybody get a citation for where the Ektar name comes from? It appears dubious that Kodak would use Tessar, a name of a Zeiss lens, as a base for the name of a film emulsion. 64.56.156.66 ( talk) 20:36, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
