Kodak Portra 160 - Film Review

Very nice color film with the accurate color rendition.

My favorite color film is Portra 160 but this is better if you want punchier colors out of the box. Grain is very little. As others say it almost looks digital. I still like the overall look of Portra 160 better but if you’re going to be shooting something that’s colorful and sunny this is your go to. Skin is easy to fix in post as well if you want to do portraits.

What I really like about Portra 160, it has no evident tint (like vivid red tones or bright green-blue), the colours are so accurate. So that’s the reason why It’s outstanding for portraits. It also has impressive dynamic range and tiny grain. So, it’s also nice for nature and architecture. Having ISO 160, it can also be carefully used durring the ovecast and even evening / early morning time. But, I don’t take this film, when it’s snowing. The tints become too warm.
