luscious flesh tones and some flexibility lightingwise.
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.

Trusted favorite
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. Read full review...

120 film
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!Read full review...

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

I find Kodak Portra400 film very good, but not the best.
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).Read full review...
I ordered the wrong size film but this came fast and perfect!
I accidentally ordered 120 instead of 35 but they refunded me and then I placed my new order. Very easy to work with and it shipped fast!

Best color film ever produced
I've been shooting, processing, printing, and testing c41 films since the 80s and this is flat out the sharpest and best color-balanced film ever made. Pleasing skin tones as well as good saturation in landscapes. Just the best.Read full review...

Great film and value for the price!
I got these for a grwat price, and they arrived quickly. This was my first time shooting with this film and it definitely lives up to the hype. I love the colors and contrast.

Best overall print film
I have had great results with this film, I have tried other print film @ 100 and 200 ASA but the better results came with Porta 400. I will continue using this print film.

The best for neutral tones and can be pushed easily to 2 stops anytime.
