Ectar
Ektar was a semi-professional 35mm and medium format film released by Eastman Kodak in 1989 . It was developed according to the standardized C-41 process. The Ektar® film was designed with the aim of the finest possible grain have. The film was offered with ISO film speeds of 25, 100 (replaced the barely sold 125 format in June 1991) and 1000. Kodak discontinued production of 35 mm Ektar in 1994 and replaced it with Royal Gold films when market shares were too low given as a factor for this. The Ektar medium format film was discontinued in 1997.
Ektar also refers to the high-quality photo lenses for professional use sold by Eastman Kodak from 1939 to 1960. The name Ektar is an acronym for Eastman Kodak TessAR .
