Ektachrome in 120

I love Ektachrome in 120 when I want that slide film pop with the slower, more intentional rhythm of medium format. On the Mamiya C3, it pairs perfectly with a quiet walk and careful focusing. It’s still slide film though—so it rewards patience and punishes rushing.

Pros

+Slide film color and contrast in medium format
+Great match for slower, deliberate shooting
+Gorgeous results when you nail exposure

Cons

-Requires E-6 processing
-Not very forgiving with exposure latitude
