Good flesh tones, good resolving power and grain. It has just been superseded by the film listed described below in Kodak's "colorful" rhetoric. The new family of KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA Color Negative Films is based on a breakthrough Unified Film Emulsion technology -- so you get remarkably harmonious results from film to film and shoot to shoot. It doesn't matter how many different PORTRA Films you shoot -- Natural Color (NC) or Vivid Color (VC), 160 or 400 speed. Image after image, they deliver a level of consistency that sets them apart. - --Gib
