Userland's comment servers are overloaded, making this page itself too slow to load, so I had to disable them. I never liked having that dependency, and was working on migrating to homemade weblog software anyway, I guess this will just push me to get it done sooner.

Kodak E100GX slide film compared to Fuji
I shot a sample roll of Kodak's new Ektachrome E100GX film. It is marketed as a fine-grained and sharp film, clearly to challenge the current dominance of Fuji Velvia and Provia 100F (RDPIII), with similar specs to Provia, at least on paper.
Here are a few small 256x256 crops of 2900dpi scans I made on my Nikon Coolscan IVED scanner. I deliberately exaggerated the grain structure by applying equalization in Photoshop.
| Velvia | E100GX |
|---|---|

| Provia | Provia pushed 2 stops |

Keep in mind this test is highly unscientific since the crops represent different scenes with different contrast levels and colors.
