About Portra 160
Kodak Portra 160 is a professional-grade, medium-speed daylight-balanced color negative film. It is celebrated for its exceptionally fine grain, outstanding sharpness, and remarkably natural and flattering rendition of skin tones, making it a staple for portrait, fashion, and wedding photography. With a nominal ISO of 160, it performs optimally in well-lit studio or outdoor conditions. Portra 160 offers incredibly wide exposure latitude, allowing for significant overexposure (up to +3 stops or more) with excellent highlight retention, a characteristic often leveraged by photographers for a softer, luminous look. Its color palette is neutral and subtle, providing accurate color reproduction without excessive saturation, contributing to its professional and elegant aesthetic. It is ideal for situations demanding the highest fidelity in color and detail, particularly for subjects with delicate skin tones.
