p.2 #1Gold vs Portra
+1 on gold at 120. Its because they use a different base than 35mm! Less of a gold tint

They are excellent - I use them all the time for everything - and as they are a lot cheaper than stuff like Portra you get to shoot more.

Gold developed in ECN-2 is better than either of them in C-41 IMO

I will have to dig, I have not done a batch recently (been doing more Vision 3 films). It tends to be a bit more "muted" which I like, but not as pastel as Portras.
