That roll of film cost more than the camera.
Cheaper than Portra 400 here, since it's expired and no longer made. I have been stocking up on it as I found one store in town that has a few boxes left. I have three cameras that shoot 120 film (Mamiya C330, my Ondu pinhole camera, and my Holga) and have now tried it in all three. I think I like it in the Holga the best.

I really like it but it isn't as good as Portra 400 obviously. I have had good success developing and scanning it myself with only minor adjustments in Silverfast. Others complain that they hate or dislike it but my shots are nice for my use. I've attached a few of mine that I like to show what it can do with good light..
I've used Portra before and I haven't been that impressed by the colors outside of taking photos of people. I really like how Ultramax expressed the colors you took in the photos in this post so thanks, I never saw them. I'm going to try a couple of rolls and see what happens. I tried Ektachrome but that is too over-saturated. I still miss the old Kodachrome 25, which was as realistic as you could get and w/o the grain. Unfortunately, I was using an Olympus back then and the equipment, especially the lenses, wasn't nearly as good as it is today, so a lot of my best photos doesn't have the sharpness I can get with a good Canon lens. You sold me so thanks again for reposting. Bill
