Eastman Kodak has introduced two new professional film lines — the Ektapan black‑and‑white negatives and the Ektacolor Pro color negatives. Together, the launch includes six new film stocks, reviving classic Kodak names while delivering the same high‑quality emulsions as the former T‑Max and Portra lines.
Kodak Ektapan Black & White Films
These continuous‑tone panchromatic films use Kodak’s T‑Grain emulsion for low grain, high sharpness, resolution, and contrast. Available in 135 (35mm) and 120 formats for ISO 100 & 400, and 135 only for P3200.
- EKTAPAN 100: Ultra‑high sharpness, fine grain, and resolving power. Ideal for maximum clarity.
- EKTAPAN 400: The world’s sharpest and finest‑grain 400‑speed B&W film.
- EKTAPAN P3200: Multi‑speed film optimized for pushing to ISO 3200+ with consistent quality.
