Yes absolutely. Although it has a box speed of 160 ISO - and many older cameras have the right settings for 160 - you can shoot the film at 200 speed without a noticeable difference in the results

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.

Took one of my favourite pics with it

Wasting time ahead of a ferry, before sunrise I wanted to finish the roll and took this pic. Low light, hand held, all the things you probably shouldn't do with a roll of 160. But it gave an edge to this photo that would have been lost using any other film. 4000 downloads from my Unsplash profile seems to prove that others feel the same

Great film

As ever, Portra performs wonderfully in seemly all conditions.
The only reason I've given 4 stars not 5 is the price, I'd rather opt for paying an additional couple of pounds and pick up a roll of 400. When it's priced under £20 then I think it's worth 5 stars for sure.

Best film

Perfect for using with flash, gets all the quality and more economical than 400

Another Portra success

I really enjoy the low grain and lovely colours from Portra 160. Like all the Portra film stocks the quality is outstanding. I used it in a sunny summer day and it performed so well.

Not as much the poor relation as expected

I absolutely ADORE Portra 400 since I started shooting film (an expensive habit…) but have heard mixed reviews about Portra 400.

Saw some short dated 160, and thought I’d chuck it in the freezer to give a go given the price.

Shot on a couple of summer days - and quite happy with how they came out. Not quite enough to pip the prized Portra 400 to the post - but nice none the less!
