Kodak Portra 800 film updated

Posted 20 February, 2006 in Product News

Kodak has updated the Portra 800 color print film emulsion. It "…now reproduces skin tones and colors with more accuracy under a variety of light sources. This high-speed film also features finer grain, improved sharpness and exceptional under-exposure latitude."

I hope this last bit is true, I’ve found that the existing version of the emulsion really doesn’t like it if you’re the slightest bit under. More tolerance would be excellent for use in toy cameras where you have little, if any, exposure control other than the ISO of the film.

Koday say that the updated version will start shipping later this month.
