To be honest this was a 120 batch of film I had purchased on ebay. The film was processed in Cinestill C41 chemicals, first time I had used these chemicals. The colours were a little more muted than the ones I usually get from Fuji sensia but correctable in photoshop. I have a feeling that this film was out of date which may have attributed to the results I received. Shot on a Hasselblad 500cm with a Plannar 80mm and metered at 100 Asa. F8 at !/125.

Definitely works the best in direct sunlight with colourful subjects. Great for golden hour. Things tend to look a bit more flat on an overcast backdrop, but if you nail subject choice and composition, then it allows for a dreamlike quality with lovely diffident colours. Seems to respond well to being overexposed, there's often a bit of latitude to bring down the highlights in post and fish some detail out of what may initially seem like a blown-out sky (Portra seems to retain more than, for instance, Ektar.)

I switched from shooting with digital cameras to film cameras about three years ago, and I've shot hundreds of rolls of film, mostly 120, on several different medium-format cameras. I've tried almost all available 120 films, and Kodak Portra 160 is my favorite. I also like Ektar 100, Portra 400, and Portra 800 a lot, and they all have a roll to play in my photography, depending on light conditions, but the Portra 160 seems the most balanced in terms of color, saturation, contrast, and grain. Compared to Ektar 100, the film is far less saturated and contrasty, and the skies and clouds look better compared to those produced on Portra 400.

Granted, Portra 160, like Ektar 100, is generally used when the light is quite strong, but the 160 speed rating (as opposed to the 100 speed rating of Ektar) gives me a little more leeway when the light begins to fade, there are shadows in the scene, or I need a little more shutter speed or aperture. Portra 160 colors are very nuanced, and they have an almost pastel quality that seems natural and true to life. In terms of temperature, the film colors are on the cool side, as opposed to Ektar's purple cast, or Portra 400 and Portra 800's warmth. I love Portra 160's grain, which is very fine and subtle, and I prefer it to the grain of Ektar 100 and Portra 400, though Portra 400 is a close second. The film also handles underexposure quite well, and I can underexpose by a stop or two and still get very usable images. I highly recommend Portra 160, and I hope it continues to be made for years to come.

I recently acquired a Leica M4, and decided to use a roll of Portra 160 for the camera’s first outing. Being autumn, and with the daylight elusive, I took a chance on this film. On one late afternoon I chased the light in Brighton; using a hand held light meter with every minute showing a drop in available light. Despite this, and me getting to know the camera, I was delighted with the results. The film is, like it’s Portra 400 and 800 cousins, a delight to use. Colours remain vibrant, the film was never grainy, and probably perfect for daylight shots where the light is fading, I’ll use it again, for sure!
Shot my first roll of this late today on a bit of a mountain hunt on Anglesey. Used a polarising filter on most because of the haze (mountains are about 12 miles away) but nothing done in post besides a little light spotting.Was impressed with the natural colours and overall clarity. Grain is essentially non-existent and sharpness is as you'd expect from a Kodak professional film. Took a few closer shots in shaded areas as well to give it some varied lighting, which it had no trouble dealing with.Dried nice and flat and scanned as easily as any film I've tried.Is it worth the premium over (say) Pro-Image as a regular film? Probably not for my usual shooting, which is the only reason for docking it one star - it's a hefty price premium for the "extra" it ... MoreShot my first roll of this late today on a bit of a mountain hunt on Anglesey.

But it definitely does offer an edge which would be useful in some situations, so will be keeping a roll on hand.Shot in Pentax MZ-M with Pentax and Sigma zooms, developed in Cinestill C41, scanned on Epson 600 @3200DPI using Vuescan.
Having recently bought a classic 35mm film camera I wanted to put it through its paces and challenge myself to shooting film again after a digital-only break of about 15 years. I tried Kodak Portra 160 because of its reputation for quality, fine grain and beautiful, balanced colour palette. Most of my images were indoor, natural light product shots, from which I had high-res scans done, and was able to compare directly with digital images taken at the same time. I have to say I was impressed, the colours were very appealing, quite subtle and contrast was well controlled so even where I was slightly off with exposure I was able to recover detail in both shadows and highlights on the scanned copies. On a 27" monitor the images almost have the detail levels of the ... MoreHaving recently bought a classic 35mm film camera I wanted to put it through its paces and challenge myself to shooting film again after a digital-only break of about 15 years.

On a 27" monitor the images almost have the detail levels of the digital images, yet still have that classic 'filmic' look which differentiates it from the starkly clean "perfection" of digital photographs. 160 ISO was bit slow for indoor handholding so Portra 400 would help here, but most of the images were shot on a tripod so that wasn't a major issue. For my next roll I need to try more outdoor subjects in different conditions, but right now Portra 160 looks like being a favourite.
This was my first roll of professional film I'd ever tried, and it did not disappoint! Portra 160 has fine grain and muted colours that is perfect for already colourful subjects, or not 'overdoing it' with architecture or landscapes. I've only shot one roll of this, but I loved the pictures I got with it - because it was more expensive than consumer films I saved it for a nice walk into Manchester Town Centre on a sunny day! This film would probably be great for holiday travel or studio work where you wanted fine grain and muted colours.Example images taken on Olympus XA rated at ISO 100.
Portra 160 is the pastel-coloured look we love best suited for bright sunny days and a shallower depth of field than the 400 version would allow.The 160 speed is accurate in my opinion but the soft pastel look is really brought out with slightly more exposure, maybe around 125, a look that I quite like. The exposure latitude is quite forgiving though so you don't need to loose sleep over nailing the exposures.Portraits are perfectly suited to this film and sunshine brings out its best, but it looks good in most lighting scenarios. It's a daylight balanced film so you'll need a filter if using at evening / night otherwise your pictures will look a little warm but it's unlikely most people would use an ISO160 film in those evening scenarios anyway.It's definitely ... MorePortra 160 is the pastel-coloured look we love best suited for bright sunny days and a shallower depth of field than the 400 version would allow.The 160 speed is accurate in my opinion but the soft pastel look is really brought out with slightly more exposure, maybe around 125, a look that I quite like.

I find the 400 speed version to offer more flexibility thanks to the higher speed, but this 160 version makes an ideal portrait film where a slightly shallower depth of field is desired. It's beautiful as others have said, and in my opinion still worth the price on those special occasions where you still need it.
I tend to lean to the richer Fuji palette and have found Kodak a lilttle too warm for my taste in the past, especially Portra which I found to be too warm and yellow. Turns out I was wrong and possibly the victim of poor processing elsewhere. Why do so many send you back muddy prints? This time I bought Portra to try out at a wedding because I wanted to use it for what it's famed for, skin tones, but in the end I only shot three frames on film, and ended up shooting the rest on a very grey winter afternoon in London on the South Bank, taking pics of the street entertainers and passers by. Turns out this was perfect for Portra. It lifted the grey light perfectly and gave me some wonderful skin tones despite the unpromising weather and at times deep shadow under the ... MoreI tend to lean to the richer Fuji palette and have found Kodak a lilttle too warm for my taste in the past, especially Portra which I found to be too warm and yellow.

Turns out this was perfect for Portra. It lifted the grey light perfectly and gave me some wonderful skin tones despite the unpromising weather and at times deep shadow under the bridges on the Thames. So horses for courses. Pick your film for your conditions. Fuji would have given me too blue-grey a result. And AW's great processing did the rest with properly balanced scans. I'll probably try this out again on a sunny day and see if I'm persuaded to use it more generally.
It's a great film, simple as that. The iconic warm tones of Kodak come through yet they are not overpowering; I shot half this role in winter and it didn't give an artificial warm tone to the shots. The colour reproduction is beautiful. It's not as saturated as Ektar or Slide film but the tones aren't too muted - it's truly the 'film look'. The fine grain of this film makes the images very usable. I drum scanned a 35mm frame and the frame is unparalleled in quality, zero disappointments.The only downside to this film is the ever increasing price of film makes this film not as easy to shoot as I'd like. Nonetheless, is see why people have a kit bag full of this film and I'll be shooting it again for sure.
