Ektar is awesome film. E100 Slide film is fun too!

I'd recommend shooting slide film with the F4 though, since that one has a matrix meter and slide film is quite finicky if you don't get the exposure right.
Yeah, I was not suggesting slide film because its hard for a beginner to make look nice.

Ektar is.. wonderfully forgiving to under or over exposure, it'll look pretty in either case.

Not that hard with a Nikon F4 in my opinion! But certainly way less forgiving than Ektar.
Other than what I noted in a parallel comment, any E6 Slide film is frighteningly expensive to process compared to C41 negative film.
Very true, and something to be aware of.
