mauro_franic Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 <p>Kodak brings it on over and over again. Thank you!</p> <p>The new Portra 400 is sharp with subtle tones and tight grain structure.</p> <p>Beater bowl makes a great parabolic reflector... </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrydressler Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 <p>Too bad the focus was not on the hair. :) I just got a roll in 120 so I will need to shoot it after the snow.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro_franic Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 <p>Dynamic range is quite ample as well.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro_franic Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 <p>Ha. At least there were some hairs across the near eye to quantify detail.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_derickson Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 <p>Looks promosing! I have a roll in my Rollei 35S at the moment. This little camera needs a good 400 speed film because you're guess-timating distances and you need all the depth of field you can muster. The last roll I tried was Max 400 and I wasn't very happy with the large grain.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 <p>Al I shoot 100 an 200 slide film in my Minox Zone Focus and hit the sweat spot many more times than not. You just need to take it out more and learn to judge.. :) I know that learning to Judge is not PC these days. :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro_franic Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 <p>Also Al, I think you will be happy with Portra 400 printed at 16x20.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 <p>I know I was always happy with my Minox EL at 16x20. No joke there.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro_franic Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 <p>That's some sick lens.</p> <p>I would say Portra 400 easily has 15+ DR. Probably more shot at EI100.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro_franic Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 <p>Is the EL 35mm?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 <p>Yep It was known to be only second to the Rollei and then I think that was because it was more plastic than Rollei metal but the lens was just as good if not better.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro_franic Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 <p>Cool.</p> <p>Here is the second shot straight from the scanner to see detail and grain.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauro_franic Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 <p>My daughter is probably thinking: "One more new film and I am going to Rochester to straighten things out with those Kodak guys".</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 <p>LOL That explains the Eyes and hair. I have blond hair a black beard and green/blue eyes. I doubt she will have a beard any time soon. <br />:<br />)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Luttmann Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 <p>I'm loving the new Portra so far. My mainstay has been Fuji Pro 400H. But as Fuji can't seem to make up its mind what it's selling, nor letting anyone know, I've been migrating slowly to Kodak. Still have about 200 rolls of Fuji to use at the next 12-15 weddings or so.</p> <p>I've actually been using Ektar 100 more and more. Rated at 80-100, RPL scans them beautifully. Good skin tones. Been able to have 16x20 prints that look great from 35mm. 8x10 and 11x14 for albums and photobooks looks great. That said, 11x14 and 8x10 from Portra 400 are pretty much grain free anyway.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy_d Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 <p>I have not been able to find the new Portra in 35mm, It seems no one has it yet.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylynn Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 <p>It's been in and out of stock - they ship it, people buy it, fast. Got a 5-pack each in 120 and 135 back in November and December.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro_franic Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 <p>Kodak is selling the heck out of it. Adorama, Amazon and B&H are sold out every other day.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
