this film has luscious flesh tones and isn't grainy like you'd expect a 400 speed film to be compared to 160 or 200. Superior to my digital camera at same exposure and speeds. I'm sure there are some great digital cameras out there, but I certainly can't afford one in my retirement. A great value and processing is less expensive now than what I paid back in the 70s when I was deeply into portrait photography. I see now why 120 and 200 film beats 35mm hands down. Just wish you could still get Polaroid film backs and film and 800 speed film in this medium format. I can use higher f-stops and still get good exposure and more background depth compared to 35mm.

I'm a pretty serious film shooter and I process all of my own negatives. These days we aren't left with many choices of film stock, but fortunately what we have is really good. I have shot many rolls of Portra 400 in both 135 and 120 formats. It consistently delivers. It scans well and I find the quality to be consistent. If you want to know more just go to Flickr and do a search for Portra 400. You'll be impressed.

Finding roll film is challenging enough these days in the digital age. Finding film for my antique Brownie camera is even more amazing. It is quite a novelty at a home party to bring out the old camera complete with 1 use flash bulbs and take party pictures. Great film for occasional fun events!

Great product! Exactly what I was looking for; beautiful skin tones and does well in the dark.

I still use film in our photo studio. I prefer Fuji pro400, it is a little cheaper, has lower filtration values (faster printing times) in my in-studio lab. The Fuji is no longer available in the 220 format and now is often out-of-stock in 120 size. The color is good on Kodak Portra, but the film base seems thinner and less stiff which causes the negative (645) to sag in the printing gate and makes for possible out-of-focus prints. I like the slightly higher contrast of the Kodak Portra and it is still available in 220 size (for an arm and a leg).
