Thanks for sharing your thoughts (and the film via giveaway)!Basically, you’re just trying to add light to your exposures to overcome the fact that aging has created a “starting point” for your film that is denser than that of fresh film.Good article!

The film stock’s first upgrades and changes began in 2006 when Kodak decided they wanted to enhance the scanning performances and improve their grain qualities. While the changes in 2006 were minimal, many professional analog photographers took notice of their improvements and began picking up Portra as one of their go-to film stocks.Sign up for updates and get access to the FREE Quick Start Bundle!If you haven’t had the opportunity to test out any of the Kodak Portra series, be sure to give it your own personal test today!

Would love to give these a go too!I actually just found a roll of Portra 400VC not too long ago at local antique shop. The grain on Portra 400 and 800 are both extremely fine; however, due to the higher ISO, the fine grain on Portra 800 still looks different than the grain on Portra 800. Outside of teaching, reading, and writing, Drew spends most of his time listening to indie rock. [1] They are successors of the professional Vericolor films (VPS and VPL), which succeeded Ektacolor films earlier. Playing with flash and various ISO’s will help you find the perfect grain content that you are looking for.Today we’ll be covering the differences between film stocks. I’d like to see what results I get! It would be amazing to shoot some of the older stocks, but I don’t know where to look for them.I am more of a bnw film person, but Portras are what I love the same!Love how the colours turned out, and it’s even all the more amazing with expired film!
Unsure of the expiration as well.
It's a terrific film and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it in medium format. Portra 400 was right in the middle but in a scene I would have preferred to … As you can see from the comparison above, the Portra 400 film snapped in a flash to catch the first subject in focus while the line behind him fades to a blur. Thanks again.The risk of expired film is always tricky though when you don’t know how it’s been stored. The film stock is made in three speeds: 160, 400, and 800. If you are on desktop you can open in a new tab to view full res :)Lastly, looking at the detail and clarity while using Kodak Portra films, we are able to see emotion, expression, and excellence. Perhaps I’ve just never changed and the past is still the present for me.
