Kodak Professional Portra

TIPA stands the new Kodak PORTRA 160 from Stuttgart, the reactions of professional photographers who insert the film, collect first experiences and share them with their colleagues and ambitious hobby photographers are the July 6th almost more exciting than the launch of a new movie. Last February, Kodak introduced the Kodak Professional Portra 160 which is available 35 mm, 120 mm, 220 mm and 4 x 5 inch and 8 x 10 inch now in the formats. The new color negative film is characterized above all by a finer grain that allows the recordings can be even better scanned and enlarged. At the annual meeting of the Technical image Press Association (TIPA) to vote for the best photo and imaging products of the year 2011, Kodak Professional Portra 160 the following grounds was awarded an award for best film: the Kodak PORTRA 160 shows that the art of the emulsion manufacturer is not lost and in fact continues to refine and perfect will. Color negative film has about a significantly finer grit for better scanning and improved Vergrosserungsfahigkeit in today’s workflows. The PORTRA 160 delivers an exceptionally soft and natural skin tone reproduction and is an excellent choice for his “Scanbarkeit” for the portrait, fashion, and advertising photography.” The film already encountered great interest when it was introduced and was used in the meantime by professionals in various areas. Kodak has therefore obtained a first feedback by three internationally known photographers. Philipp Paulus, fashion photographer from Germany: In my opinion the Kodak PORTRA is first choice for fashion and Beauty shots.

Especially the extremely fine grain, as well as the excellent skin tones to convince me. Kodak’s new film provides a perfect colour reproduction, proved also during and after scanning. An analog medium, which can be scanned in so high-quality, represents a compelling alternative to digital images. If you a digital photo with an analog image compare, then you will see the differences in quality.
