Kodak Portra 400 35m 36exp Film Professional 5 Pack

Product Information

The Kodak Portra film is a daylight-balanced film with a nominal sensitivity of ISO 400. This enables you to capture a range of photographs including the shots where the lighting situation cannot be controlled. Designed especially for portraiture, travel, nature, wedding, and outdoor shoots (including moving subjects), this film is a versatile accessory. It is suitable for all the film roll cameras with a 35 mm format. What's in the box? Nine times out of ten, I always overexpose Kodak Portra 400 by metering it at 200 and meter for the shadows or midtones. This, as most of you know, will give you a beautiful and colorful images.

If you haven’t shot it before, I’d recommend you try it at least once. I could see myself using multiple rolls for a project too, to take advantage of its quality. I don’t currently develop any of my own C41 film, so I had to find a lab which would be happy to push my film chemically – not as easy as I thought it would be. I eventually found a place in Hatton Garden, and have never been disappointed in the results.

Hi SROYON, in your test I couldn't understand some things. I was able to understand the test for whites, but… For better or worse, a lot of hobbyist film shooters want a certain vintage look. With its sunny feel and colours and contrast that enhance a scene without making it unrealistic, Portra seems to deliver exactly what they want. Years and years ago, Kodak announced something that would endure for quite a while: Kodak Portra 400. Available in the 120, 35mm, and large formats, the film was and still is incredibly popular with photographers who like shooting portraits. It’s highly valued for its muted tones–which tends to go against much of what digital photography seems to offer straight out of the camera. However, Portra is in use for much more than just this. Lots of photographers use it as their every day film because they just like it. But this tends to be more the thought process of those that shoot 35mm. At 120, you’re getting far less shots per roll and often work to get the best photos you can in one single shot due to higher stakes–even more so than with 35mm. While some of the alternatives listed here aren’t directly comparable to Portra in terms of grain structure or low light capability, they’re all close enough to be useful in nearly all of the situations in which one would typically be using Portra. It’s also true that using some of these less popular films may even help your photos to stand out from the crowd! So in 2010, Kodak Portra 400 NC and Kodak Portra VC 400 both ceased to exist as they merged together and became the simple, singular Kodak Portra 400 we have today.

If Portra helps more people to enjoy film and keep buying it, Kodak will make more money and will be able to keep producing all their films for all of us. And that’s kind of where I’m going with this. The only elephant in the room here is something we maybe should have touched on earlier. It’s not cheap. In fact, depending on where you shop, Portra 400 might be Kodak’s most expensive colour negative film.

Kodak Portra 400, 35mm // Leica M6, Leica 35mm f/2 Summicron Fuji 200 is being made again in Japan. Here is a pic of some I recently bought last fall in the USA, w/ expiry date of 2024. Clearly says made in Japan. Fear not, though. If you can’t find any in person, don’t have time to go and look, want to find it at the best price before buying, or indeed want to buy less than 5 rolls, there are plenty of people online who will sell you some instead. Now this quite a fun time to use Portra with some really interesting results! Night scenes with lights in them are going to have an incredible amount of contrast so a film like this really shines. It’s important to still make the image look like it was taken at night, so remember that shadows and unlit parts of the frame should still appear properly dark. My first tip for these scenes is that you shouldn’t worry at all about overexposing the light sources, instead concentrate on what part of the image you want to see rendered as a middle tone. Kodak Portra 400 comes in 35mm, 120, 220, 4x5 in, and 10x8 in formats. The 35mm roll tested here has 36 exposures. (Image credit: Gareth Bevan / Future) Kodak Portra 400 Specifications

When you rate Portra at 200 you are overexposing the film and basically telling the film to let more light in. When you rate lower than box speed you do not need to tell your film lab. You only need to notify your lab when you are pushing your film to a higher iso (800, 1600 etc) so that they can leave the film in the developer for longer.

Choose Kodak Portra Films for natural skin tones, ideal colour, and finer grain in every situation. Day or night, studio or location, candid or posed, KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA Films deliver: Kodak Portra is fairly simple to use and, in my personal opinion, is the single most forgiving negative film on the market. If you’ve got it at ISO 200 instead of 400, you’ll still be able to get a fantastic photo. For that reason, I also genuinely recommend it as a great beginner’s film once you’ve got a better understanding of exposures and how they work in a scene. Spot metering knowledge is also important here. One of the areas in which Portra excels in is with its color. The vibrancy is absolutely glorious, especially with the skin tones. I find that when I overexpose my images, the skin tones and greenery are more true to color.

Day or night, studio or location, candid or posed, KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA Films deliver: Fast forward to 1971 and Kodak launched another colour negative film called Vericolor. This also had Type S and Type L versions, which were given the codes VS and VL. I’m impressed by the high latitude of Portra 400, and think it really deserves it’s reputation as one of the best all-round films available to date. As long as exposure is close and light is used appropriately images will come through as the photographer intended. I bought the Cinestill cs41 powder kit recently in the hope of pushing ASA400 colour film as the lab here where i’m from don’t push process colour film. I’ve not tried developing with it yet, as I’m still figuring how to maintain the temperature for colour developing. I’m imaging to get something akin to the look of the Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsys grain and colour palette… Hehehehhe..
