For 35mm film I use Kodak Portra 160 and for medium format film normally Kodak Portra 400 and more recently Fuji Pro 400H again. Kodak Portra is said to produce the best skin tones and I did agree but now I am starting to prefer the pinky-green tones of Fuji Pro 400H vs yellow-orange tones of Portra. 35mm Kodak Portra 160 is much cheaper than 135 Fuji Pro 400 and sadly Fuji Pro 160NS is only available in 120 format (not 35mm).

Kodak Portra 400 35mm film review | Digital Camera World

Best Uses: Kodak Portra 400 is often considered the most standard of the films. It’s not a bad idea to shoot it at ISO 200 and develop it at ISO 320. You can use it in pretty much any situation as long as you’ve got great lenses that let in a lot of light.

That said, Portra 400 handles almost anything you can throw at it. If you want to go shoot landscapes with Portra, it’s going to look great, and you can always persuade the color a touch in post (as I usually tend to do). Pro Tip: the latest emulsions of Kodak Portra were designed to be scanned. We recommend Portra 400 more than almost anything else out there.

It’s an incredibly versatile film in terms of exposure latitude – so much that Cinestill doesn’t even provide a fixed box speed to it! They do however give a suggestive ISO rating of 200-1600, which allows you to shoot in a multitude of light settings.If you have some precious digital photos which you’re looking to turn into Portra 400 film shots, look no further than these Portra 400 Lightroom Presets. As tempting as it is to follow along with the photographic trends, I’m happy with my work and how I make my images. I love Portra, and I’m not saying that I’ll never buy it again. After all, it’s pretty much the only color negative film in medium format other than Fuji Pro400H – I suppose my hands are tied there. So if you’re wanting those washed out, pastel colors, over-expose it. If you want a bit more color and grain, shoot at box speed. Both will give beautiful results and lovely pictures and colors. Portra 400 isn’t a film that you HAVE to shoot at 200, although the current trend does a good job at making you believe that. Shoot it at boxspeed, and it’s going to look great. Shooting Landscapes With Portra 400 Where Cinestill 800T might have similar ISO capabilities, the difference here is really in the way they both capture color. 800T’s tungsten balance will transform warm tones into cool tones, whereas Portra will accentuate those warm tones.

Strangely, these are some of my favorite conditions for this film. Most love shooting Portra where there is so much color to play with and that can certainly be exciting, but I feel it can handle these more dreary scenes much better than a film like Ektar can, and I love it for that. Kodak Portra of all sorts is a negative film. Typically, it’s light hungry. Meter for the shadows on someone’s face if you’re using it for portraiture. Otherwise, it’s not a bad idea to give it up to a stop more of light. On your camera, use the +1 exposure compensation setting. Even when shooting in difficult conditions such as overcast or a dull winter’s day, Portra 400 holds up pretty well. It’s well know that overcast it’s really the best conditions for color landscape photography, however depending on the scene you can still make it work. If Portra is what you have loaded in your camera, don’t worry about it. Kodak Portra 400 is more flexible overall, which is to be expected from the best-selling color film of all time. Portra 400 is designed for use by professionals, who need a cleaner look and reliability so that they can choose the look of the final image.That is the what I love about film photography-shooting film, making prints, sharing them amongst friends & family:)

Ektar works very much like E6 film and is meant to be shot at 100 and looks great at that rating while Portra is known to be a film that can be shot all over the place in terms of exposure. It looks great at 400, 200, 100, 50 etc – I’ve been 5 stops over by mistake and the scans look fine. With a fine grain structure and excellent sharpness, this film is a favourite among professional and amateur photographers alike. Shop with us to get your hands on a roll of Kodak Portra 400 film in medium format and see for yourself the exceptional quality it has to offer. The low speed of Portra 160 unfortunately means it doesn’t perform well in low light. However, with external flashes or other lighting accessories, you can achieve that low-light performance with the added bonus of the 160’s fine grain and sharpness! Portra 160 comes in 35mm, 120 (medium format) and large format (4×5”). Originally Portra 400 came in two variants: Natural Colour and Vivid Colour. A technical upgrade in 2010 made this separation redundant, and since then there has only been one variant with the best of the chemistry and 'The World's Finest Grain in Colour 400'! After shooting 13 rolls of Kodak Portra 400 I thought it was time to give Ektar a try, as was suggested by some people who read my previous posts. A couple of weeks ago I loaded a roll in my M2 with the intention to try it on my regular daily photography. But after a day or so my man and I decided on a last minute trip to Karpathos (a Greek island in the Aegean Sea) since the Dutch summer wasn’t really taking off properly. As I wasn’t sure yet on the outcome of Ektar, I took a some Portra 400 with me as well, and concluded that it was a good opportunity to compare them both. We were only in Greece for three days, so I more or less shot one day with Ektar, and one day with Portra. The weather was very much the same over those few days: clear blue skies with only a very small hint of cloud if you looked really hard.Thanks for your reaction, Ken. I think it’s a good thing that different people have different taste. Hi SROYON, in your test I couldn't understand some things. I was able to understand the test for whites, but…
