KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA 160VC Film

Personal comment: I use this film for any situation where I want a little more contrast such as in a product shot.

KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA 400VC Film

Personal comment: This is my film of choice for late afternoon outdoor portrait work. The light is very soft and get even softer as the light diminishes. The film not only gives me extra speed but but it elevates the color and contrast a bit to help overcome the softness of the evening light. This is especially helpful if I am using even a small amount of diffusion or soft focus in front of the lens.

Features vivid colors and high speed. Use 400VC Film for vivid colors on location.
