Very very sharp film, with lovely cool tones. Shot some of this in winter/early spring and it captured that kind of light really well. I've gone for 4/5 instead of 5/5 because of the price.

Portra 160...is it worth the price premium over Gold? Yes, it definitely is, but it's one I use for particular projects close to my creative heart. The subtle colour palette is perfectly balanced, and as a lover of landscape, I'm especially delighted with how it renders greens. I've tried many, many films for landscape, and this one is 100% top of the pile. I'd love it to be cheaper, but I can't recommend it highly enough.

Portra 160 is a go to film when you just need to elevate your photography. The colour tones during hot summer days are beautiful without over emphasising any particular colour.

If you're looking for a fine grain film with a little bit more latitude or more pastel colours than Ektar, this is it. I like it in 35mm but in 120 it's even better. These shots are through an 80 year old lens and it still shows how nice this film is.

Outstandingly sharp with great skin tones. A shame it's not more easily available.

There is a quiet poetry to Portra 160. It doesn’t demand attention; the tones unfold slowly, revealing a softness that feels both refined and honest.

These images was captured on the Zenza Bronica ETRSi with the 75mm lens, at box speed. The way this film renders colour in open shade and soft daylight is nothing short of graceful, clean highlights, natural saturation, and a gentle pastel warmth that flatters every surface it touches.

Portra 160 rewards precision. It thrives when light is metered intentionally and the scene is composed with care. The grain is delicate yet dimensional, the palette calm yet alive. In architecture, portraiture, or landscape, it offers a timeless neutrality that feels cinematic without excess.

Among modern colour films, few express restraint with this kind of beauty. It is, quite simply, quiet luxury in photographic form, a film that reminds you that presence, patience, and craftsmanship will always stand the test of time.

I absolutely adore the pastel-like colours that Portra can give, I wish I was able to use it more often. Due to the speed of this film it is best used on bright, sunny days, but that does not mean you cannot use it in other situations.

If I had to choose just one colour film to shoot a portrait, Portra 160 would be the one. For its beautiful and accurate pastel tones, its delicate fine grain, its professional look… It’s especially great at rendering skin tones, and that’s why I would choose it as my number one for portraits. If we compare it to Portra 400, I find that the tones in 160 are less saturated, smoother, more “pastel,” and obviously finer-grained. It delivers outstanding results that will work in almost any situation. Of course, it’s 160 ISO, so you will definitely need good light to get the most out of this film. But it’s really worth it, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Beautiful film - best on a sunny day. It had a blue tone on the photos I took, but that might be due to the cloudy days I shot the roll on and my exposure settings. Might work better for portraits?

Very high levels of clarity with good colours and a very fine grain. First time using 120 film and very impressed

What's to say? This is Kodak doing what Kodak does best. Suberbly soft colours and intimate vibes.

Medium format photos taken with this resolve a massive amount of detail. I walked around Bristol with my Rolleiflex when the sun came out and absolutely loved the colours. Obviously, Portra gives great skin tones. But it's good for so much else as well.

I went shooting pictures around California with a few rolls of this stuff and an old camera. People often say that Portra 160 isn't quite as good as its higher-speed Portra 400 competition, but I beg to differ. This film offers much fantastic results wherever you can find enough light for it.

can't go wrong with this one

Nice films colours are great and the quality of the grain is amazing. Just slow speed only downfall.
