Film Kodak 1x5 Portra 800 120

Kodak 1x5 Portra 800 120 is a professional color negative film with ISO 800 sensitivity, designed for photographers who need high-speed performance with fine grain and natural color reproduction. Supplied as a pack of five 120 rolls, this film is suitable for portrait and landscape work where low-light capability and faithful skin tones are important. Made in the USA, Portra 800 delivers balanced color saturation and sharpness while preserving shadow detail in challenging lighting.

Advantages

Portra 800 offers superior underexposure latitude compared with typical high-speed films, allowing you to retain shadow detail in less-than-ideal light. The emulsion produces very fine grain and higher sharpness for an ISO 800 film, together with well-balanced color and natural skin tones. The film can be push-processed to ISO 1600 when extra speed is required.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography in mixed or low light
• Event and fast-action shooting with long lenses
• Outdoor and indoor reportage where natural skin tones are needed
• Situations requiring underexposure latitude and push processing to ISO 1600

How to use

Load the 120 roll into your medium-format camera following the camera manufacturer’s instructions. Expose at ISO 800 for normal conditions; if extra sensitivity is needed, meter and expose for ISO 1600 and indicate push processing to your lab. Process in standard C-41 chemistry. Handle negatives carefully when stripping and scanning to preserve the fine grain and color accuracy.

Usage recommendations

For best results with portraits, meter for highlights to maintain natural skin tones and consider underexposing slightly when strong backlight is present. When shooting fast action or in very low light, push to ISO 1600 and inform the lab to push-process one stop.
