What are the differences between KODACHROME and KODAK EKTACHROME Films?
Although both are used for making slides, these films have some distinct
differences. KODACHROME Films are considered the standard against which
all films are measured for sharpness and grain. They are manufactured in
size 135. Available film speeds are ISO 25, 64, and 200 for daylight
picture-taking. KODACHROME Films are developed in Process K-14, which
has somewhat limited availability because of the complex nature of the
process.

Because EKTACHROME Films are made in a wide variety of sizes and film
speeds and film processing can be obtained quite easily, they have
become favorite films among many photographers. They are manufactured in
sizes 135, 120, 220, 35 mm long rolls, and sheets. Film speeds available
for daylight picture-taking are ISO 50, 64, 100, 200, 400, and
P800/1600, and for use in tungsten illumination are ISO 64, 160, and
320. EKTACHROME Films require Process E-6, which is readily available
from many photofinishers and can even be done by the darkroom enthusiast
using a KODAK EKTACHROME Film Processing Kit for Process E-6.

KODACHROME Films are the best choice for long-term storage in the dark,
while EKTACHROME Films better withstand the effects of frequent
projection. At one time KODACHROME Films were felt to produce a "warm"
result and EKTACHROME Films a "cool" result. These stereotypes no longer
apply, however, with current film emulsions. We recommend that you try a
roll of similar ISO films side by side to determine your personal
preference.
