KODAK Portra 400 Professional ISO 400, 120 propack, Color Negative Film (5 Rolls per Pack)

great film

My favorite film! Really love the colors and the grain. Theres nothing better.

There's almost 1,000 reviews for this film. What could I possibly add? Nothing new. But here's my review anyway: The film is great. It has the perfect amount of grain to it, the colors are awesome, and it develops easily using a 2 bath process. This film is the first time I ever developed my own film; and it was super easy to do following the instructions. So, if you're worried about your film turning out badly because you have never developed before: don't worry so much about it. This film is easy to work with, and develops easily.

I love this film. You can do almost anything with it. If I know I'll be in sunlight, or really nice bright light, I'll opt for the ASA 160, but if I don't know where my day will take me, it's this film all day long. Colors start out a bit muted, which gives for great skin tones and portraits, especially for kids in the "instagram" generation looking for that film look. I always add a bit of saturation in post, and photos end up looking vibrant and believable. Colors are nowhere near as in-your-face as with a slide film like Velvia or Provia, but still very very nice. Exposures are very forgiving, though I like to over-expose by about 2/3 of a stop, as a matter of taste.

Came as described, fresh, decent expiration date. Not expired.

I use 120 film in my pinhole cameras and have used Ektar 100 for some time. I wanted to do some indoor work so I bought the 5 pack of Portra 400. It is great except in one area. The frame number markings on the paper roll are quite faint. It may be leading to some fogging but since I get a bit anyway so it is hard to tell. Anyway I have to use my iPhone flashlight just to see the numbers when I advance the film. My Ektar is easy to see and I have used 3 5-packs of it so far. Otherwise, I would give it 5 stars.

All of Kodak's most recent color negative films (Ektar 100, New Portra 400, New Portra 160) exhibit excellent dynamic range and tonality that seems to push the bar for color negative film even more. Anyone who's shot color negative before knows how well it renders highlights and lighter tones, and this film isn't an exception. This film is more saturated than the new Portra 160, but not by a large margin. If you want a slight increase in the punch of the color though, I recommend pushing the film to 800 ISO, and developing the film longer (approximately 40 seconds more if you're doing your own processing). Shadow detail will remain perfectly in-tact, and if you're still concerned, overexpose by .5-1.0 stops. The film can handle it, easily. You can also push this film up to 3200 ISO and still get excellent results (better than I've ever seen before with color neg), but the contrast increase will be noticeable.

Kodak Portra is my favorite color film. It's almost impossible to expose incorrectly, it has a really wide latitude (I'm not even sure how wide, it's really hard to get an unusable shot out of it,) the grain is impossibly smooth and the color reproduction is perfect. I have shot all of the color negative and slide films that are being made today and I love Portra more than all of them, including Kodak's own Ektar. There is nothing bad I can say about this film. I run it through my Mamiya RB67 and I have it processed professionally. I have never gotten bad results out of this film.

ポートラは、160でも400でも、ロケには最高のフィルムです。 エクター100が ややハイコントラストなのに比べて抑え気味なので、シャドーに粘りが効いています。

Portra 400 est surement la pellicule haut de gamme la plus polyvalente du marché. Acheté en vente flash le prix était SUPERBE :)

If you shoot 120 then this is a decent film stock. Super speedy on delivery

Best film Stock. Beautiful true to life colours. Came as a pack of 5 rolls.

Good film
