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.

First time buying and trying this film and got a whole box to play around with during lockdown. I really like it but I feel it might have a redish hue to it. It might be me as I am also home developing but can be easily rectified on any photo editing software. I think it's best for controlled portraits but I love the way my landscapes have come out with it due to the fine grain.
Great colours and really fine grain but I wouldn't say the difference is remarkably different to Portra 400 on first inspection. I'd probably buy this if I knew I was going out in some really sunny weather but otherwise I'd stick to Portra 400 just to have a bit more flexibility. I developed and scanned this at home and I'd say that it had a touch of a green tinge but that could also be down to my lack of experience developing this film.
I've been using this a while now. Lovely subtle colour rendition. Ordered a whole load at the beginning of lockdown so have been able to use much recently, need to get some C41 chemical to do it myself.
I'm usually a black and white shooter. Live in the Ilford world but decided to try the Portra 160 in my RB67.
So amazed by the colours, the clean image is very appealing. I'm unable to comment or compare to others as every other colour film I've used has been expired stock but I'm more than happy with the results.
I've used Kodak Portra 400 previously so this was my first try with 160. I used it for two documentary portrait shoots in my Mamiya C330, which I use for all my project work. I found to be a fine grain film with a beautiful pastel effect to the negs, good skin tones and great for working on location on a bright day. I was really pleased with the outcome.
