In Kodak consumer films, try:
Elitechrome 100
This is the consumer version of the professional Ektachrome E100S and
should not to be confused with the Elitechrome 100 Extra Color (see below).
In Kodak's E-6 professional films:
Ektachrome E100S,
Ektachrome 100 Plus (EPP), or
Ektachrome E100SW
E100S, 100 Plus and E100SW are moderately saturated compared to straight
Ektachrome 100 (EPN) and recommended by Kodak for fashion/glamor work. EPN
is "neutral" and recommended more for inanimate objects where accurate
color reproduction is important. E100SW is a "warm" version of E100S,
supposedly for heavy overcast days when you would be tempted to throw on a
Skylight filter.
I've used the Elitechrome 100 and E100S with decent results (IMO).
[BTW, Kodak's new super mondo color reversal (to compete with Velvia) is
Elitechrome 100 Extra Color and E100VS (pro version). It is vividly
saturated . . . just shot a couple rolls of it . . . the slides jumped off
of the light table.]
