Kodak Portra 400 35m 36exp Film Professional 5 Pack

Product Information

Aside from the T-grain one, I have no idea what those things are and will definitely forget them once I’ve finished writing this. That’s fine, though. As any good salesperson knows, it’s not the features that make people buy. It’s the benefits. Pro Tip: the latest emulsions of Kodak Portra were designed to be scanned. We recommend Portra 400 more than almost anything else out there.Kodak Portra in larger formats tends to look a million times better than the 35mm format, though I should admit that the 35mm format can also hold its own very well. The film was designed to be scanned and so all you really need to focus on is getting the exposure absolutely perfect in camera. Camera films with a high exposure tend to produce images with more grains as it captures crisp and sharp details in every lighting condition. That’s why Kodak has introduced the micro-structure T-GRAIN emulsion that prevents grainy texture, especially making the film roll suitable for enlargement and scanning purposes. The Kodak professional film also features a cinematic VISION film technology that provides a fine grain structure with edge detailing and sharpness. Choose Kodak Portra Films for natural skin tones, ideal colour, and finer grain in every situation.

Spectacular skin tones?PORTRA Films delivers smooth, natural reproduction of skin tones, plus exceptional colour saturation There’s not much to say about the image qualities Portra brings to your street photography that wasn’t covered in the last section. The cleanness, sharpness, contrast, and muted colours just work.If you found that Portra 400 review useful, why not take a look at these to learn about even more great films: The perfect go-to film, there is little not to like about this emulsion. Portra 400 offers excellent colours, it is fast enough for the most situations, and even though it is 400 ISO, it still produces high quality and fine-grained results. In most of these images you can see that there is still plenty of detail and color in the highlights, but that colors in the brightest parts of the image are certainly on the soft side which is a desired look that I’m wanting to achieve. If you want to use the film and still retain more saturation, I would recommend not adding the additional two-thirds stop as I do and then also using GND filters to control the sky. You can actually end up with quite a bit of saturation on Portra if exposed this way, but be careful as shadows can get muddy and oddly oversaturated.

I’m impressed by the high latitude of Portra 400, and think it really deserves it’s reputation as one of the best all-round films available to date. As long as exposure is close and light is used appropriately images will come through as the photographer intended. Kodak Portra 400 is a pretty new film; especially when you consider how long Kodak as a brand has been around. It was born in 1998 and changed to what it is today in 2010. It’s the same attributes that make it good for both groups; the flexibility, the reliability, and the consistency it brings with its image quality and qualities.

Hi SROYON, in your test I couldn't understand some things. I was able to understand the test for whites, but… So, there you have it. Kodak may be the last man standing when it comes to professional-grade color negative film (RIP Fuji Pro 400H), but there are still some great consumer-grade options when you want to save some cash and set yourself apart from all the other Portra-toned fish in the sea. I actually think that Portra 160 does a better job with indoor portraits where as Portra 400 is wonderful outside. As for pushing film, pushing is when you rate the film HIGHER than the box speed and then have it pushed in development to compensate for the underexposure. So pushing Portra 400 one stop (+1) would be shooting it at 800 iso.

While some of the alternatives listed here aren’t directly comparable to Portra in terms of grain structure or low light capability, they’re all close enough to be useful in nearly all of the situations in which one would typically be using Portra. It’s also true that using some of these less popular films may even help your photos to stand out from the crowd! Nine times out of ten, I always overexpose Kodak Portra 400 by metering it at 200 and meter for the shadows or midtones. This, as most of you know, will give you a beautiful and colorful images. Simon is a documentary photographer. This means narrative projects, told via long form photo-essays, and publications. If I had a special occasion to shoot or a trip or holiday that I wanted to save on film, Portra would be high on my list of candidates for the job. I think it’d give me results I’d love.The Kodak Portra film is a daylight-balanced film with a nominal sensitivity of ISO 400. This enables you to capture a range of photographs including the shots where the lighting situation cannot be controlled. Designed especially for portraiture, travel, nature, wedding, and outdoor shoots (including moving subjects), this film is a versatile accessory. It is suitable for all the film roll cameras with a 35 mm format. What's in the box? If I wanted to give one of my point ‘n’ shoot cameras to a friend who doesn’t shoot film to try and see how they liked it, Portra would also be a likely choice. I think it’d give them results that’d make them want to shoot more film. My question is regarding pushing/pulling/shooting at box speed. I plan to use it solely for shooting outside when the weather is nice so bearing bright sunny skies in mind, is shooting Portra 160 a better option? Also, just to clarify, “pushing” Portra 400 means going *down* in ISO to 200, and not upwards to 800? And this would have to be marked on the film for development as “-1”? It is a part of the Kodak Portra range of professional quality, daylight-balanced, colour negative films. Well known for producing natural-looking skin tones, with high detail and fine grain. It is also known for its natural warmth, like most Kodak films. Portra 400, in particular, has undertones of orange and yellow.

If you spend thousands of dollars in film (or any camera equipment), and you make even 1 great photograph, it is worth it. It’s by far the most searched for film on Google, according to my rudimentary research, and also the number one figure of fun on r/AnalogCircleJerk, which is a less scientific measure but also a good sign. Portra must be popular if it’s become a cliché.Fast forward to 1971 and Kodak launched another colour negative film called Vericolor. This also had Type S and Type L versions, which were given the codes VS and VL. Kodak Portra 400 is a film bound to not disappoint you–especially if you can know and understand what you’re going to be getting beforehand. To do that, I really recommend shooting with your digital camera at ISO 400 and with daylight white balance. Here’s a video we did with tips on how to make the most of it.
