Kodak Ektar film recipe with Classic Chrome

Fujifilm simulation Kodak Ektar film recipe for X-Trans IV cameras

We’re almost spoiled for choice as far as Kodak Ektar film recipes are concerned. There are at least four that I have seen, which of course, all produce different results (scroll to bottom for some links).

For my tastes, each of these had something I liked, but share a +4 colour setting, which I personally find too strong, and outside my preference for softer tones. So, another Kodak film recipe is born, which is still a colourful look, but is a little less saturated than others.

I enjoy shooting with it in bright conditions, bringing a punchy style that is still natural in appearance, just like Ektar photos of the past.
