Kodak - properly known as Kodak Eastman - was founded in America in 1888 and dominated the "Western" world of photography for the next 100 years, constantly in fierce rivalry with the Japanese Fuji. Similarly to Fuji the advent of digital photography at the turn of the century caused significant financial problems. A late attempt to win in the compact market was hit by the rise of mobile photography and bankruptcy followed in 2012. Fortunately the photography business has survived under the Kodak Alaris name - based in Hertfordshire, England - and they have delighted the analogue industry by pledging continued support for film production and the promise of bringing back old favourite emulsions.

Not quite Portra 400
A nice stock which is fine in bright lighting conditions, struggles a bit when the sun goes in though.

Portra 160 review
Portra 160 - A decent film, perhaps didn't blow me away as much as I thought it would due to the hype surrounding it, but didn't finish the roll due to a camera fault, but the sunny ones I did take came out well. These were shot at ISO 200 on a trip to The Gower in Wales on a Praktica PLC3 w/ Pentacon 30mm lens and CJZ 50mm.
The first time I tried Portra 160 I used it inside, and wasn't really blown away. I've avoided it since, preferring the flexibility of Portra 400 or the cheapness of colorplus and ultramax.
But I took it down the beach the other day and the colours and smoothness just blew me away. On a sunny day, this is perfection.
I'll be stocking up on some more (even if I do live in the UK)
I rated mine at ISO 100
