Comments about Kodak 4 x 5" Portra 160 Color Film (10 Sheets):
4x5 Portra 160 allows you to accurate render the world with detail and color accuracy beyond any medium I have ever used in photography. You get the detail and scale of 4x5 and the best tones and contrast available on film. In my opinion this is the best film stock for photography, period.

Comments about Kodak 4 x 5" Portra 160 Color Film (10 Sheets):
I'm a student, and this past semester I was required to use a 4x5 camera .im a digital person, so I had no idea what type of film to look into.in talking to my professors and research I've found portra is the best for what I am using my camera for. Which is studio shots with strobes as well as landscapes and long exposures for night settings. Portra is best for color balance which is portant in Any situation where you would like total control of what your image will look like.hope this helps!
