The PORTRA 800 offers an improved grain structure for better scan and print capabilities with modern working methods. In the ISO 800/30° colour negative film category Portra 400 is currently the film with the finest grain.

Portra 800 has a warm colour rendition (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 when a high sensitivity is needed - or any other photos where it might be important to capture movement, or where only natural light is available.
