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.

Pentax 17 with Portra 160 + 1.5 stops
I'd like to say I did it on purpose but actually forgot to change the manual setting on my P17 from 400 iso to 160 - but I carried on at 400 and asked AW what to do. Helpfully they were able to process the film +1.5 stops and as usual with Portra, the results don't disappoint.
I also shot 2 rolls of B&W with my ME Super (Black Market and Frankenstein) which I have also reviewed, and you might want to compare these?
Colours are stunning with Portra and have a natural but slightly retro style. I cannot believ how lucky us film photograpers are to have such a stunning product available to us.
Many thanks to AW for making my disater into a decent set of images.
Sometimes AW have had unboxed film on special deals like this one, which was 4x36 exposure films without outer boxes for £45 (now sold out I'm afraid). This deal saved about £4 a roll so was very attractive indeed.
I have used Portra 160 before - its a top film and although relatively slow, at 160 ISO it has plenty to cope with dull days.
I would use it more if it wasn't so expensive so whenever a deal like this comes out I snap it up, and would advise you to do the same! They did a similar deal with Kodak Ultramax recently too.
Some photos attached from a previous Portra 160 to show how good it is even in dull and wet Nidderdale conditions. Fantastic when its bright.

Portra 160 in Low Light
First time using Portra. Used my OM101, and toom a few chances in lower light conditions (sunset, indoors and at night with a flash). Still surprising how beautiful and detailed it is. I think the colour representation is the beauty of this film.

Nice film for everyday shots
It's one of my favourites, it can push well if you can push in the lab.
