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. Rating at ISO 200 and metering for the shadows or midtones will give beautiful, warm colors and natural skin tones. 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.. Best-in-class underexposure latitude no other colour film gives you so much latitude (-2 to +3 stops) so you can shoot with confidence even under challenging lighting conditions.

Spectacular skin tones?PORTRA Films delivers smooth, natural reproduction of skin tones, plus exceptional colour saturation If you found that Portra 400 review useful, why not take a look at these to learn about even more great films: The perfect go-to film, there is little not to like about this emulsion.

Before you shoot your rolls, Kodak recommend you store them at 21°C (70°F) or below, or 13°C (55°F) if you’re saving them for an extended period of time.Hi SROYON, in your test I couldn't understand some things. I was able to understand the test for whites, but… If you have a camera or photography shop near you that keeps a good selection of film, they should really have some Portra 400. The only reason they wouldn’t is that they’ve sold out. It comes in a 5-roll box but any shop worth their salt should let you buy single rolls from open boxes too.

It is a part of the Kodak Portra range of professional quality, daylight-balanced, colour negative films. Well known for producing natural-looking skin tones, with high detail and fine grain.

It’s a beautiful and interpersonal experience. Okey dokey guys, that’s it for me. Now go out there, see the world, and document it with this beautiful and vibrant film. Compared to its main rival, Fuji Pro 400H, it will produce warm tones. While the Fuji film will give cooler tones. The unique colour palette has made it an especially popular choice for portraiture and editorial work.

Superb colour in mixed lightno matter the lighting conditions, even under fluorescent, you can expect beautiful, natural colour. Fujicolor 200 is a fantastic consumer-grade film that yields slightly subdued colors and leans toward cooler tones when compared to Portra. An upside to its consumer-grade status?

It’s a great film for street photography or in areas where there’s lots of leafy green foliage (think greens and tans). Despite leaning toward the cooler side of the spectrum, it still produces natural, pleasing skin tones, making Fujicolor 200 a great choice when you want to grab some candid shots of friends but don’t want to burn through all your expensive Portra 400. Here’s what the film looks like as the sun is starting to sort of set in Brooklyn, NY, and the clouds are rolling in. The colors are still nice and muted. But see how the sun gives a really nice rim light to Rory’s hair?Kodak Portra 400 shot in Croatia on a Canon AF35ML (Image credit: Gareth Bevan) Kodak Portra 400 Sample images It is a part of the Kodak Portra range of professional quality, daylight-balanced, colour-negative films.
