About this deal

These include advanced T-Grain emulsion technology, optimised colour precision technology, better underexposure protection, great skin tones, and better pictures under more conditions.

Now this is absolutely a matter of preference, but some folks actually like the look of the grain that presents itself in darker photos.

This could be looked at as a positive but it could be looked at as a negative. Portra 400 is more true to life than Ultramax. Ultramax has a significantly noticeable look when compared with Kodak Portra 400. And while it’s more expensive than both Gold and ColorPlus, it’s not like you’re walking around wasting a roll of Fujicolor Pro 400H on decisively missed moments. Ultramax 35mm film has an ISO of 400. This means that it can cope with all of the most common lighting situations, and is known as a mid-speed film. One of the nice traits that UltraMax 400 has colorwise is the fact that the color intensity is evenly distributed. You will not find that some colors stand out more than others. The balance is perfect. In comparison, Fuji Superia 400 is more biased towards the reds and the greens. A good number of the images I got with Ultramax were shot in the morning and afternoon sun, and the film reacted to that with good contrast. The sharpness is also nothing to complain about, bearing in mind what we’re shooting with here.

Another advantage that ISO 400 has is that it allows you to use freeze your subject with crisp details intact. Since UltraMax is already sensitive enough, you can use your lens at higher f-stops and with the camera set at a faster shutter speed. This is a big deal for street photographers. Our first film guide will cover Kodak, the most storied of the film companies still producing film. Kodak film offerings have thinned out in recent years, but their roster still includes some of the best and more versatile emulsions on the market. Here are our thoughts on the current lineup. Though Portra 160 is suitable for a variety of situations, it is far from the most versatile film. Its low sensitivity limits usage in low light, and shooters who find themselves wanting to emphasize particularly colorful surroundings will be left wanting. But when used for its intended application of portraiture and airy people photography, it performs well. Buy it here in 35mm, here in medium format.The magnitude of Kodak successfully rereleasing a film like Ektachrome is huge. It’s also a milestone that, frankly, many of us never thought possible. We’d been through this before with other film projects. Big promises on social media to #keepfilmalive, the flashy promotional campaign, the buzzworded crowdfunding, and the whole load of nothing that happens afterwards. For more than a year we heard just a few intermittent reports that Ektachrome was still coming. And now, proving our fears wrong, it’s finally here. What is exposure latitude? Exposure latitude is basically how much a picture can be under or overexposed and still be usable. So for instance, Portra 400 has very good exposure latitude, which means you’ll get more information from the shadows and highlights.
