Some complain about this film but, geez, I love the results. I'll definitely be buying more. Agreed! The only current production colour films that I will not be buying again is the garbage Wolfen NC400/500 stuff.
I've been extremely happy with all the colour film I have bought from Kodak or Fuji. So much so that I mainly buy the cheapest 200/400 stuff because I've never looked at the results and wished I used Portra or whatever else. I think one huge reason is using the hybrid workflow of scanning and then processing 'digitally' maintains the basic film look goodness, but allows you to adjust colour temps, saturation etc. You know how much work I had to do to this shot? I lowered the mid-tones in the red channel -3. That's it.
I'm loving the Fuji 200/400 and Kodak Ultramax and Gold. I really love the Gold. What great emulsions. Even my 6 year old Ektar from previous posts that had been frozen scanned well with minimal adjustments.
Exactly. I think a lot of it comes down to 'reviewers' who excuse their pics by saying they used this 'cheap' film to test the gear, but their real pics are shot on Portra. Dood, my real pics are shot with whatever film is in the camera!
