Kodak's Professional Portra 800 is a high-speed, daylight-balanced color negative film optimized for use in difficult lighting conditions. It has a nominal sensitivity of ISO 800/30° along with a notable underexposure latitude for effectively pushing to ISO 1600 with maintained quality and extended highlight and shadow detail. Vivid color saturation and low-overall contrast contribute to pleasing skin tones and neutral color accuracy, and a micro-structure optimized T-GRAIN emulsion renders a fine grain structure with high sharpness and edge acutance. Kodak's proprietary advanced development accelerators and antenna dye sensitization also offer enhanced scanning and enlarging performance. Portra 800 is very well suited to photographing moving subjects and working in low-light conditions while maintaining true color reproduction.

This item is five rolls of 120-format roll film, expired on June 2023.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the expiration date? The picture shows May 2011?

A: B&H buys and sells film in bulk. In general we regularly maintain fresh film stock. All of our film is at least 6 months from expiration (typically much longer). Anytime film stock is less than 6 months from expiration we sell it in a separate section and label it as short-dated film and also price it with a slight discount (again due to the volumes we sell this rarely occurs). Unfortunately we do not have access to our inventory to hand inspect the expiration date of any of our films prior to purchase.

Q: 8. Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about Portra 160 VC or NC. Can anyone suggest a color negative 120 film size equivalent to Fuji Velvia? I'm looking for vivid, saturated color and fine grain. Is Portra 160 the best bet these days? Thanks!
