Last week I picked up my first two rolls shot with my lovely Mithril from
Citizens in SE Portland. I have some slight focusing issues that I need to work on but in general I was pretty happy with most of the photos. I would like to get an additional film back so I can shoot Ektar and Portra simultaneously so I decide which film I like more.
Laura Maguire shot with Kodak Ektar 100
Angela Thornton shot with Kodak Portra 160vs
What do you shoot with?
Portra 400 or Fuji 400H. You can't beat the skin tones for portraits with both of those films. I'm not a huge fan of Ektar myself. Check out the new Portra 160 too. I've been thinking of using it more myself, especially with the Hasselblad in bright sunlight since it can't shoot faster than 1/500s.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the saturation Ektar gives me, the Portra is too cold, washed out for my tastes.
ReplyDeleteI really like the colors from the Portra. For people, it's my go to. It can definitely look a little cold, but I like cold.
ReplyDeleteNo joke if you shoot 35mm often, please try Kodak 400 gold. It's mostly all expired but is so friggin money.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any examples from anything you've shot?
