The new PORTRA 400 offers an improved grain structure for better scan and print capabilities with modern working methods. In the ISO 400/27° colour negative film category Portra 400 is currently the film with the finest grain. But concerning the parameters sharpness and resolution Fujifilm PRO 400H and Superia X-tra 400 offer better values.

Portra 400 has a warm colour rendition (slightly warmer compared to Portra 160). The colour saturation is also a bit higher compared to Portra 160. A major strength of this film is the very good skin tone reproduction.
 
It is a very good choice for portrait and fashion photography - or any other photos where it might be important to capture movement, or where only natural light is available.
