Isn't that because 400 and 160 are the new formula using vision technology and 800 is the old portra still

@john that makes sense since it's a faster film it would fade quicker then slower speeds and consumer grade film as they put it need longer shelf life. I may actually raid the stores and see if anyone's selling some old stock for cheap

Thanks for that great info Randall. I've ordered a bunch of film from b&h including kodak max 400, fuji s 800. I liked the look of both from what I've seen. And I agree it does resemble Portra in a way. It's a shame Portra 800 is pricey compared to max and superia

<p>@Colin O<br> Thanks for the links. When I'm shooting Nightlife I happen to like the look the film produces, though It's too expensive to keep buying disposables just for that. Just shot a few rolls of Superia X-tra 400 and really hated the plastic colors and really red skintones. I know each to their own. But for me personally I'm looking for that look.<br> @David<br> Yeah I remember that. I've actually shot with real movie film but it looks much more like Portra just a bit flatter<br> Okay so I thought of checking the Coding on the Negs, It says Kodak GC 400, I think thats just Ultramax</p>

<p>Hi can you buy the film they load Kodak Disposables with. I know its some sort of film that doesn't meet the "quality standard" or at least what i've heard. I know the obvious answer is buy a disposable and take it out. But they cost about $15 over here and I think they use a different spool head with spikes on it</p>

<p>thanks for all the responses. So what happened was I shot a few images, then got worried about the focusing, and while checking the lens accidentally fired a few shots, then for what ever reason I reminded the film at 9 frames. Just got the film back. From what I can tell by using the loupe and v600 the ones I actually took are in focus but there all in the hyper-focal distance. So its still a bit of a mystery but from whats been said and what I can tell I think it may actually work. I actually bought a brand new Stylus Epic so I think Ill use that and sometime in the future run another roll through the infinity </p>

<p>Hi I just received my Olympus Infinity Stylus and started to run some tests on it. Though I can't hear or see the lens focusing it doesn't move or make any sounds is that normal or is the focusing broken.<br> The lens does move out when the cover is slide open</p>
