I use a lot of this film pushed to +3 stops..according to Kodak the resulting
ASA numbers are 200 (normal), 320, 640, 1000. Even at 1000 it still has very low
grain (a bit less than a 400ASA print film), of course you have to be careful
since it will not tolerate improper exposures at ASA1000. Pushed +3 its a good
film for available light photography. Extremely fine grain when used at 200 or
320.
I have no problems at all scanning it with my Acer 2720S, but I have heard
reports from a friend of "blocky blue skies scans" when shot at ASA200.. He uses
an old Sprintscan 35+.
Kodak also makes a consumer version of this film, called Elite Chrome 200. It
also performs the same but I believe it reacts a bit different to +3 stop push
(I'm not sure, perhaps a bit faster than ASA1000, slight color shift to green),
Kodak claims its the same film but not stored or aged for professional use. I
use them interchangeably.
Note that Ektachrome 200 is a pro film and should be stored in the fridge for
best results.
