What is the difference between Portra 400 and 800?

You can see that Fuji 400h and Portra 400 have some backlighting while Portra 800 is just in open shade. For the last scene, I wanted to see the difference in skin tones across the film stocks. I found that Portra 800 was the more contrasty stock and was more reddish with the strongest blues in the shadows.

Similarly, How do you build a Portra 400?

What is the difference between Portra 160 and 400? Portra 400 is noticeably warmer and has a little more saturation, without adding contrast. 160 is close to neutral – may be even a hair to the cool side (but that’s likely human perception of colour talking).

Beside above, How do you push a Portra 400?

Is 120 film still available?

120 film is still a very popular medium format film, especially with the recent popularity of the Holga. The 120 film format was originally introduced by Eastman Kodak for its Brownie No. 2 in 1901. The 620 roll film was the same size, but didn’t have a spool and is discontinued.

What film is like Portra 400? Kicking off the list with not only another Kodak stock, but one at the same film speed, Kodak UltraMax 400 is a great alternative to Portra 400. Built with the same C-41 chemistry as Portra, you can take the roll to just about any lab for development.

How do you load a Portra 400 film?

What type of film is Portra 400? Kodak Portra 400 Specs

Film Format 35mm
Film Type Color Negative
Film Speed ISO 400
Color Balance Daylight
Film Processing C-41

Can you push Portra 160?

Portra 160 is very forgiving. You will be just fine either leaving it, or requesting a 1/2 stop push at most. I often rate Ektar 100 at 400 or 800 and push 1.5 to 2.5 stops.

What ISO is Portra 160? Kodak Portra 160 ISO 35mm x 36 exp. (Single Roll Unboxed)

Film Size 35mm
Speed (ISO) 160 ISO
Roll Length 36 Exposure

When can I use Portra 800?

Kodak Portra 800 offers stellar colors, great contrast and fantastic low-light performance, if you can live with a little grain. First introduced in 1998, Portra 800 is a fast, professional film stock that’s ideal for low light portraiture and even sports and action shooting.

What happens if you shoot 400 film at 800? If you shoot 400 ISO film as 800, that is a 1 stop underexposure which will require a 1 stop push in development by processing it as an 800 ISO film. If you shoot a roll 1 stop under-exposed and don’t push in development, your photos will be under-exposed.

Can I shoot Portra 400 at 800?

Pushing Portra 400 to ISO 800: Porta 400 metered at ISO 800 and pushed one stop. I have often used Kodak Portra 800. I find the grain is acceptable in medium format and have printed 6×17 images to 20 inches and they look very clear. The speed is great for shooting handheld in challenging circumstances.

How do I overexpose my Portra 400?

What is the difference between 120mm and 35mm film? 120 film is a less popular format than 35mm, but it is technically a “superior” film to use. The increased size of the film negative allows for much more resolution and detail. 120 film is harder to find, and you probably won’t find it at the corner store.

Is 220 film still available? Although 220 film is no longer being produced, we are still happy to process any expired 220 film. Unlike 120, there is no backing paper behind the film itself, just a leader and a trailer.

Does Walgreens still develop rolls of film?

Walgreens does indeed develop 35mm film at all of its stores that have photo labs, charging $14.99 for 24 exposures and providing a free photo CD of all the images. At some stores, you can get other film types like 110 and 127 film, negatives, and disposable (single-use) cameras developed.

Is Polaroid An analogue? Capture and keep your everyday moments forever with the Polaroid Now. Our new analog instant camera comes with autofocus to help you catch life as you live it in that iconic Polaroid instant film format. In 7 colors, plus black and white, there’s a Polaroid Now to suit you.

What film does Fujifilm still make?

For the record, Fujifilm now only has five film products left in the US: the Velvia 50 in 35mm and 120, Provia 100F (35mm, 120, and sheet), Neopan 100 Acros II ( 35mm, 120), Fujicolor C200, and Superia X-Tra 400, plus the Velvia 100 (35mm, 120, sheet) in other countries.

How do you know what film to use ISO? Set the Film ISO

The higher the ISO, the higher the film sensitivity and the larger the film-grain size. If you plan to shoot indoors in low light conditions, film ISOs of 400, 800, or even 1600 are preferred.
