What the Kodak Ektar look is
Kodak Ektar 100 is the most saturated, finest-grain colour negative film Kodak makes. It was built for landscape and nature shooters who want vivid, punchy colour with razor-sharp detail: deep blue skies, rich reds, and greens that pop, all with almost no visible grain. It is the opposite of a faded, muted film, Ektar is about bold, confident colour.
Translated into a LUT, that means a lift in saturation and contrast, deeper primaries and clean, crisp highlights, without tipping into cartoonish. That is what Vibrance recreates in-camera on LUMIX.
Vibrance: our Kodak Ektar style for LUMIX
Vibrance carries that bold, saturated Ektar character across landscapes, street and everyday frames, so you get the punchy colour straight out of camera. It ships with same-scene before and after frames shot in-camera on a LUMIX, so you can see the rendering before you buy. Pair it with two more if you want a shelf of moods on your card.
