treeplanter Posted July 9, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 9, 2011 There are several Porta groups on Flickr with one being dedicated to the new Porta 160 film. You may find some photos there. Jim B. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

italy74 Posted July 10, 2011 Share #7 Posted July 10, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ciao unfortunately I have "nothing" in the desert, but scanning ability of new Portra 160 is nothing short of superb. These are 6 MP samples. WARNING - several NSFW images ! italy74's Photos : Photo Keywords : portra_160 By comparison, Ektar pictures are more contrasty (same model, NSFW) red, yellow and green hues are enhanced as well as contrasts between lights and shadows. It might be more indicated with people with extremely pale skin, to add some "colour" naturally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

italy74 Posted July 10, 2011 Share #9 Posted July 10, 2011 Ciao Henry if you want to practise, under here is FULL of poppies.... Although not one of my favourite subjects, I like the strong colour contrast with the green and I might try to take a few pics of them with both Portra 160, Ektar and Portra 400 in the next days.

italy74 Posted July 10, 2011 Share #11 Posted July 10, 2011 Thanks, by the way it's the film who has increased its scanning capability, it's quite a long time I go to that photographer and definitely these last rolls of Portra 160 and 400 are a quantum leap forward.
