One day I made an exposure error with Portra 400 which remained all day, and overexposed by 2 stops, I told the lab it was o/x by at least one stop - when we got the prints back they were some of the best ever as far as exposure is concerned. Yes I think it is a film which is designed to be o/x'ed - I have also accidentally underexposed, that is a definite no no - cheers Hugh Thompson
