The Kodak Ektachrome 64 Professional (EPR) is a high-quality slide film that features fine grain and excellent color reproduction. With a sensitivity of ISO 64, the film allows for high sharpness and detailed images. The film code “EPR” / Kodak 5017 represents the specific product designation of this film.
Development
The E6 process is used to develop Kodak Ektachrome 64 Professional (EPR). This development process follows a standard and is still offered today. So if you can still find a roll of the film, you can still have it developed today.
Formats
The Kodak Ektachrome 64 Professional was available in a variety of formats to meet the needs of different photographers. These included 35mm film, which is commonly used for 35mm cameras, medium format film, which offers a larger image area and is particularly suitable for portraits and landscape photography, and large format film in 4×5″ and 8×10″ sizes, which is most valued by professional photographers in the studio and for architectural photography.
Availability and discontinuation of production
Production of the Kodak Ektachrome 64 Professional was discontinued by Kodak in 2007. This was due to declining demand and the general trend towards digital photography. However, there is still a loyal following of photographers who appreciate analog film and are looking for ways to continue using it.
Differentiation from other Kodak films
It is important not to confuse Kodak Ektachrome 64 Professional with Kodachrome 64 or Ektachrome 64T. The Kodachrome 64 is another slide film from Kodak that was introduced back in 1977 and is characterized by its distinctive colors and long shelf life. The Ektachrome 64T, on the other hand, is a special tungsten film characterized by its improved color balance and fine grain, but has also been discontinued.
