Great film, low grain, good saturation.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Professional Portra 400 Color Negative Film (One 36 Exposure Roll):

Wow, the new Portra 400 is quite versatile! The first time I ever used it, I rated it at ISO 3200, and had it push processed 2 stops. Even though that left it 1 stop under-exposed, the scans I got back from it were better than I expected. More recently, I shot some senior photos, and over-exposed it 1/2 a stop. Colors are just graceful, and the highlights look like cream. I jsut got done shooting a roll at ISO 200, to be pulled one stop. Can't wait to see those results!

Comments about Kodak 35mm Professional Portra 400 Color Negative Film (One 36 Exposure Roll):

I love the colors and tones that Porta 400 gives off. It can be pushed to 800 and still look amazing.

This film is my hero. Now, I just wish more of my clients would want their photos taken on film instead.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Professional Portra 400 Color Negative Film (One 36 Exposure Roll):

The negatives are a bit grainier that I would like, I would rather give up some film speed and use the Portra 160- but for a high speed film the colors are true.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Professional Portra 400 Color Negative Film (One 36 Exposure Roll):

I can not say enough about this film, it is amazing. Color accuracy is consistent and on point, the quality of the images is always superb, and I am never ever disappointed. The best color 35mm film on the market.

The film so far has been great, the colour and contrast are strong and really pop out. Recommend!

I tried Fuji 400H print film. Does not work for me. I like to take rodeo photos in daylight and this is just what I need.

Great latitude, handles all kinds of crazy light, scans well. Makes me happy that I choose film!

Comments about Kodak 35mm Professional Portra 400 Color Negative Film (One 36 Exposure Roll):

This is one of, if not the most beautiful film for shots of people - ever.
Skin tones for all races are beautiful and life-like.
I just find best to expose at about ISO 200-300 (more or less - just a bit over-expose).

Comments about Kodak 35mm Professional Portra 400 Color Negative Film (One 36 Exposure Roll):

best bang in terms of speed for grain quality. I use this with the intention of scanning an printing via inkjet.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Professional Portra 400 Color Negative Film (One 36 Exposure Roll):

Great under/overexposed. I shoot handheld at 1/60 regardless of the metering. It stays dark in the shadows, which is pretty impressive.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Professional Portra 400 Color Negative Film (One 36 Exposure Roll):

Only reason I can't give it 5/5 stars is because I use it in 120/220 formats and it TRULY shines there! When the light gets too low for Ektar or P160, this is the go to stuff. Gorgeous and rich colors that aren't too VC or NC, but just right and AMAZING to scan. Haven't printed anything optically unfortunately but I have heard it's a piece of cake once you get the filter pack. Buy all of this stuff.

amazing if your lab knows how to get the job done

good colors. a bit more contrast.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Professional Portra 400 Color Negative Film (One 36 Exposure Roll):

When I decided to make the plunge and try out film shooting I bought a used Canon 35mm and then did some searching to find what film I should use was. The Portra 400 was recommended to me so I picked up a couple rolls from B&H. I shot one with a mix of portrait and landscape subjects. I then had it processed and scanned by a lab and wow this film looks amazing! I am going to try and shoot more film in the future while its still around. If you want great color and nice looking grain as well as the flexibility of 400 speed film then there isn't a better choice.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Professional Portra 400 Color Negative Film (One 36 Exposure Roll):

I am used to shooting 160VC in 120 size. Since the new films were intro'd I haven't had a chance to use them. The 400 in 135 size is great.
Scans well and I shoot it at 320iso and process regularly to get a denser neg and more saturation that I'm used to in the older VC.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Professional Portra 400 Color Negative Film (One 36 Exposure Roll):

This film has been great quality every time I've used it so far and I haven't had any problems.

Great film, super fast international shipping from B&H. Thanks guys!

Comments about Kodak 35mm Professional Portra 400 Color Negative Film (One 36 Exposure Roll):

As expected, I enjoyed my first roll of Portra 400. The colors are great and appear to be consistent, but hey, this is my first roll.

Comments about Kodak 35mm Professional Portra 400 Color Negative Film (One 36 Exposure Roll):

In my opinion, this has got to be the best 400 speed film on the market. It is just perfect; it is just vivid enough to create interesting yet faithful landscapes, and at the same time render skin-tones with complete precision. For the outdoors, I would recommend Portra 160 instead, but for anything with low levels of light or studio portraits, please use this film. Nothing can compare to it. It is the reason I still have hope in Kodak as of 2012.
I hold no grudge against this film; it's fantastic!
