Before switching to primarily shooting digital, I mostly shot Kodak
Ektachrome E100G. There are several versions of Ektachrome E100,
with slightly different color balances and saturation. E100G is
the general purpose version and, as far as I know, is still available.
E200 has come in handy in lower-light situations. E100G is also
available in formats larger than 35mm.

I had a good bit of my photography shot with E100 and E200 published,
and, basically anything older than two years on my Web site
( http://www.robl.w1.com ) was shot
on various versions of E100. I stopped shooting Kodachrome more than
ten years ago and was never that wild about it. But, some of the
images that are 10+ years old may be on Kodachrome. When I was
freelancing full-time, my clients were quite happy with the images I
produced on the various E100 emulsions.

In some ways, I miss some of the qualities of E100G. And, I liked its
color rending somewhat better than what I get with my Nikon D80.

But, there are lots of other advantages to shooting digital, including
being able to provide an image to a publication in hours rather than
days. I still have one Nikon film body and could still shoot film if
I find an overwhelming reason for doing so. There is a same-day E-6
lab in a nearby city -- and then, of course, there's still Dwayne's.

By the way, I am not trying to turn this into a Kodak vs. Fuji debate.
I've shot a little bit of Fuji film in the past, but once I got used to
E100, I simply found it easier to stick with that. I've also seen lots of
really nice work shot on Fuji.

I hope that helps.
