Mr.Prime Posted April 4, 2023 Share #2 Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) That's a difficult question to answer because I imagine you would first want to decide on your goals for the shoot. If it's model work (who knows, maybe the rain is atmospheric) then Portra is a favourite still. If you want to dial up the muted colours to compensate for the diabolical weather then you'd go with something more punchy and saturated (typically Fuji).

As it is, the only moderately fast colour film that's reliably available where I live is Portra 400, with Kodak's 'pro' price tag of around 50p a frame before processing. When limited stocks of anything else turn up, they tend to get hiked to nearly the same price. If I had the choice (I do have a few rolls left), I'd go for Superia 400. Colourful things still pop nicely even on a cloudy day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
