Kodak’s Professional Portra 400

This high-speed, daylight-balanced colour negative film delivers a smooth, natural palette with vivid saturation and low contrast. It renders accurate skin tones and produces consistent, reliable results across various shooting conditions. Built on advanced VISION Film technology, it features fine grain, outstanding sharpness, and excellent edge detail for true-to-life image quality.

Its micro-structure-optimised T-GRAIN emulsion ensures the film performs exceptionally well in scanning workflows. This design enables superior tonal reproduction and clarity during digital post-processing. The film also includes advanced development accelerators, making it ideal for enlargements while maintaining sharpness and contrast.

With a nominal sensitivity of ISO 400/27°, this film suits a wide range of photography. It excels in portraits and weddings, and it performs reliably in nature, travel, and fast-paced outdoor settings. Whether you’re capturing motion or working in unpredictable lighting, this film provides flexibility and precision without compromising image quality.

STORAGE AND HANDLING

Store unexposed film at 21°C (70°F) or lower in the original
sealed package. For extended periods, store film at
13°C (55°F) to preserve consistency.
To avoid moisture condensation on film that has been
refrigerated, allow the film to warm up to room
temperature before opening the package.

DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS

Do not use a safelight. Handle unprocessed film in total
darkness.
