Kodak Portra 400 is an ISO 400/27° daylight-balanced professional colour negative films introduced in 1998 and made originally for portrait and wedding applications. Like Portra 160, the film was formerly available in “Natural Color” (NC) and “Vivid Color” (VC) variations, before being updated in 2010, when both were replaced with “New Portra”. The characteristics of the film are much the same as they are for the 35mm equivalent versions. Kentmere 100 will have finer grain and higher contrast and sharpness while the 400 edition will own the grainier end of the spectrum and lower contrast. Kentmere 100:Depending on the strength of the mixture (i.e. how many times I’ve used it), I fix for two to five minutes. Best-in-class underexposure latitude no other colour film gives you so much latitude (-2 to +3 stops) so you can shoot with confidence even under challenging lighting conditions. Capture stunning, lifelike images with Kodak Portra 400 120 film.

These images were taken on fairly overcast days and I shot the film at it’s box speed of 400. Development was done in Rodinal at a dilution of 1+25 for 7 minutes.For a fun video shooting the film in Paris, head on over to my Youtube channel here! I can promise loads of b-roll and cool Parisian-themed music. Final Thoughts Nominally rated at ISO 400. Ilford HP5 Plus 120 film will give you negatives with outstanding sharpness and fine grain. Great results under all lighting conditions. Dry : Don’t use a flippin’ squeegee! Squeegees, especially sponge squeegees, just gather particles of dirt that end up scratching the film over time. I use a clean microfiber towel (note: if you launder your microfiber, be aware that it breaks down over time, and should not be used with fabric softener – that stuff will just leave streaks on your film), drenched with the Photo Flo mixture from the tank, and rung out tight. I then make two very light passes on the strip, clip it, and hang to dry for two to three hours before scanning.
