Kodak Portra 160

Canon EOS 30 Kodak Portra 160

Kodak Portra is one of the films I always have at home. It is available as ISO 160, 400 and 800 and I almost always photograph them as 100, 200 and 400. The film replaced Kodak's Vericolor in 1998 but has been upgraded accordingly, as late as 2022.

As with many modern films, Portra was created to work better as a film scanned and processed digitally before printing the images.

This film is excellent for both portraits and landscapes, a perfect film to take with you on vacation. My opinion is that it wants some extra light, spring and summer film in southern Sweden at least. Therefore, it was extra fun to see what it would do with a foggy and cold winter day by the sea.

I think it did pretty well! And after gray and gloomy days comes the sun.
