About this film

Kodak Portra 800 135/36 is colour negative film rated at ISO 800 in 135 format with 36 exposures.

Image character

High speed combines with warm natural skin, rich colour and relatively fine grain.

Best uses

Evening portraits, weddings, interiors, stage work and long-lens photography.

Practical advice

Meter for shadow detail and use available light deliberately; underexposure quickly increases grain and scan colour noise.

Processing: standard C-41. I recommend labelling the actual EI and any push/pull or scanning requests before handing the film to a lab.
