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.

YOUR CHANCE to win big!
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)

The colous with Portra 160 just absolutely pop. It has the clarity of digital but with the bold magical extra of film.

Porta 160 on the stumps up the marsh
Now you probably couldn't get a much better scene than this to point your hurdy gurdy at, so a bit lucky on that score when the rain stopped and the sun started sparring with the clouds.
And I don't slap a 20mm lens on very often but this was screaming for it to fill my daisy roots with that big old Norfolk sky.
There was a bit of difference between up above and the marshes exposure-wise, but the film's latitude rendered both more or less as I saw them.
It was also crying out for a polariser. But I didn't have one, so I tweaked that bit in post just to give the sky some extra 'oomph.
This doesn't come cheap at £20 a throw. But it's worth it if you want serious quality to capture something that really pops.
