   more like Portra NC than Portra VC, but still a beautiful film., May 24, 2011

   consistent results. i think fans of Portra VC might be slightly disappointed because this film looks more like Portra NC than VC. skin tones look lovely, landscapes are rendered with accurate color. red is rendered accurately.

   if you preferred the extra pop of saturation with Portra VC, i would recommend Ektar 100. ISO 100 but blues are very blue and reds really stand out.

   that said, i love the new Portra 400. the colors are natural but never looked washed-out.

   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.
