ANALOGUE: Kodak Portra 800 35mm

The biggest boy in the family, weighing in at 800 ASA and you might have already guessed, the most expensive of the three. Grain is apparent which is expected and a green tint is apparent in lower light conditions. In daylight, skin tone rendition is natural while colours are vivid. When rated at 400-500, photographs get sharper and less greenish. That doesn’t mean it’s useless at box speed but more of a flexibility when needed.

 

Let's rejoice for the existence of 800 speed films so come on Kodak, roll out a 1600.
