Ektar has been a challenge for me with more color shifts than Pro 400H for example, so I have not yet been wowed by any of my Ektar shots. But perhaps it is due to user error. What conversion methods did you try?
There was a gentlemen posting on this forum (thread) a few years ago who was getting remarkable colors from/with Ektar 100. He even shared his methodology as well.
Ektar is my mostly used color negative film in all formats and I cant complain about results comparing to all other emulsions.
I use Negafix's model for Ektar. But my most recent troubles were with a relatively new camera, so perhaps the issue was with the shutter timing being off (at least two exposures looked off by more than 1 stop). I noticed a small backlash issue with the rangefinder, so I will send the camera out for CLA anyway, and I have asked them to take a look at the shutter timings while it's there.
I too have seen great results with Ektar, and since Fuji is discontinuing a bunch of their stuff, I am committed to make Ektar work for me. I'm sure I will get there eventually.
