Kodak Portra 400 35m 36exp Film Professional 5 Pack

Product Information

The 800 speed opens this film up to extensive use from bright to low light situations. The high speed also allows capture at high shutter speeds, making this the best option if you’re focused on action and movement. The exposure latitude with 800 lets you meter at 640, or even 400 – although, the film will do just fine at box speed metering. Kodak Portra 400 is more flexible overall, which is to be expected from the best-selling color film of all time. Portra 400 is designed for use by professionals, who need a cleaner look and reliability so that they can choose the look of the final image. Best Uses: Kodak Portra 800 isn’t as popular as the other films, but it’s one of our favorites. Use it for natural light portraiture in low-light settings. Note, it doesn’t have the same color style as the other two.

Strangely, these are some of my favorite conditions for this film. Most love shooting Portra where there is so much color to play with and that can certainly be exciting, but I feel it can handle these more dreary scenes much better than a film like Ektar can, and I love it for that. If you have some precious digital photos which you’re looking to turn into Portra 400 film shots, look no further than these Portra 400 Lightroom Presets.

So here are a few comparisons, I tried to match the used lens, time of day that the photos were taken, and viewpoint with respect to the sun. They are not exactly the same, sometimes even different, as I didn’t take the exact route for my photography expedition each morning. But I am confident that there are enough similarities for a fair comparison. I rated Ektar at box speed or EI 100 (after reading this and this), and I rated Portra 400 at EI 100 too. I metered with the iPhone app myLightMeter PRO. The top photos in the comparisons are taken with Portra, the bottom ones with Ektar. Natural skin tones: Kodak Portra 400 film is known for its exceptional skin tones, which are rendered with a natural, lifelike quality. This makes it ideal for shooting portraits. The rolls were developed in Flic Film’s color chemistry kit using the same temperatures and developing times. Then they were dried and scanned using the Essential Film Holder and Negative Lab Pro. Known for its iconic warmth, forgiving exposure latitude, and use cases spanning portraits, landscapes, and everything in between, the Portra line is Kodak’s most versatile offering

Next a couple of photos that show what I perceive as the strength of each film. First some landscape photos on Portra with the subtle colours that I really like. This might sound in contradiction to some earlier comments of mine where I was looking for more colour, but the photos below do not look pale to me, just more desaturated. The colour still feels dense enough to me, if that makes sense. Portra 400 / Summicron 35mm ASPH Portra 400 / Summicron 35mm ASPH Portra 400 / Summilux 50mm Kodak Portra 400 is at a midpoint between Portra 800 and 160. The 400 speed makes it Portra’s all-purpose contender, as it’s ISO is low enough to mitigate grain but high enough for shooting in low light. Portra 400 comes with the warm and punchy tones that we love with the Portra name. Its exposure latitude is widely forgiving, enabling you to shoot one or two stops underexposed for deeper shadows and contrast, or overexposed for a brighter airy feel. Hi SROYON, in your test I couldn't understand some things. I was able to understand the test for whites, but…Consistent and reliable performance: This film is known for its consistent and reliable performance, which means you can count on it to deliver stunning results every time. Ultimately this is a premium film with very powerful chemistry, and the photos it will produce for you are going to be beautiful This Kodak Portra 400 film review is the final of the 2020 series for the Analogue WonderBox Film Subscription!

A wide latitude can be a real benefit on a bright day if I want to shoot at apertures like f1.0, f1.2 or f1.4. All these films can be over exposed a crazy amount (Portra especially for me) yet still retain the highlight detail where digital would clip the highlights way before. Film cameras also tend to have a slower maximum shutter speed vs digital so it is more difficult to shoot a lens wide open and be able to darken down the available light sufficiently. Exmples: Film – 1/1000 (Leica M2/ M3), 1/400 (Mamiya RZ 67), 1/500 (Fuji GF670) vs Digital – 1/4000 (M9), 1/8000 (Nikon D800). Finally I reveal how I make my Portrait Images! Kodak Portra is balanced to Daylight. That means that in orange lighting, it’s going to look really, really orange. To get an idea beforehand, use it alongside a digital camera and set that camera’s white balance to Daylight.

The washed-out muted tones of Portra can really lend itself to certain landscapes. Again, with my trip to the badlands, it’s a place that’s not exactly known for it’s vibrant and lively colors, so Portra 400 was perfect. Throughout the different landscapes and situations I’ve shot Portra in, I’ve come to appreciate the various results that can be achieved. And finally some images where the saturated colours of Ektar work really well (and the top featured photo of this post was also shot on Ektar): Ektar / Summilux 50mm Ektar / Summicron 35mm ASPH Ektar / Summilux 50mm Portra 800 creates saturated and punchy warm tones, with soft contrast and a subtle grain (even at the level of 800). The 800 speed also provides great exposure latitude, allowing you to shoot a stop or two either over- or underexposed, along with accommodating high shutter speeds, letting you capture action and movement.

A bit of rising sun on Greek churches. Although they are different churches, the photos were taken at a very similar hour, and in the same direction. Portra 400 / Summilux 50mm Ektar / Summilux 50mm Kodak Portra 400 has a softer, neutral color palette and captures flatter images with more shadow detail than Lomography 400. which produces higher-contrast images with more saturation and rich, warm tones. Lomography 400 is also made on a thinner film base than Portra and is prone to significant curling. This film is mostly designed for the way it renders skin tones. If you’re photographing someone with darker skin tones, balance it out with a silver reflector.Shoot one or two stops under and images are still entirely usable. And when over-exposing, it’s possible to still make astounding images even four stops over. In fact, Portra makes some of its prettiest shots when overexposed. If you’re not sure of your exposure, err on the side of over-exposing and Portra will always reward you (a good rule for many color-negative films, really). I used this same test for comparing Lomo 800 and Portra 800 side by side, and found some truly remarkable results! It’s common knowledge at this point that to get the best results from Portra 400, you have to over-expose by a stop or two. Having the excellent exposure latitude it does, it retains its highlights very well and gives loads of detail in the shadows. Not only that, but its color will slightly wash out giving that lovely palette everyone is crazy about right now. So, I shoot Portra 400… at 400. At the risk of sounding self-contradictory, I will over-expose the odd time while shooting: setting my aperture at f8 when it calls for f11, or likewise with the shutter speeds. I do this because I understand over-exposing color negative film is always safer than under-exposing, and sometimes it’s necessary when trying to expose for some shadows. However, being set at the boxspeed, I’m still basing my exposures off the 400 ISO, and that’s just how I prefer to shoot. Im a bit more experimental with 120 film compared to 35mm – Ektar, Lomo, Fuji 400h, Portra and a few others. For me 120 just suits trying something different.
