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.

Super fine grain and lovely colours
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.

Beautiful Tones
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.
