This film has very little grain, and the slightly muted colors look nice for wedding photos. 800 speed is helpful when I can't use a strobe during the ceremony, and also means less flash needed than when using 400 in the near dark of most receptions.

Whenever I shoot this, I feel that it shouldn't be rated at 800. Shooting at ISO 800 results in photos that appear to be underexposed.

This is opposed to Portra 400 which results in a perfect exposure at ISO 400.

I would find a way to make Porta 400 work.

This is a great film for wildlife photography - fast for both long lenses and toi stop any action the wildlife may be undertaking.

I love this stuff. In terms of grain, most people want to use slower speed film to get the finest, sharpest photos and scans possible, but Portra 800 is awesome. It's great to have something faster if you're outdoors and it fades to evening, and this stuff will give you the flexibility you need to keep shooting without popping on the flash.

But it's great with flash too. If you happen to be bouncing a flash around indoors in a dimly lit place like a pub, for example, you'll get a lot of detail in the background to come out and expose perfectly using Portra 800. Because it's color/tonal range is so good, it's useful for everything from shooting a sunset outdoors to an indoor party to portraiture.

Ultimately, Portra 800's grain isn't quite as fine as the 400 speed Portra films, but it's still very fine and you won't at all be disappointed. In fact, I prefer Portra 800's colors to the ones you get with either 400VC or 400NC. They are all excellent, professional-grade films, but Porta 800 has a delicate tonal range and saturation that just has something special about it.

This is one film you should definitely have in your repertoire. It's my pick for ISO 800 speed film.

My favorite film on the market. Works with my SLR camera to create constant consistent quality shots that hold up well over time. It's the best!

I use this film often for night indoor concert photography and it "rocks". Great clear sharp color; captures the instant even in low lighting and never lets me down. I buy it exclusively at Adorama as it's increasingly hard to find - but worth the effort. Great for quick action too and all travel shots.

I shoot nudes in natural light, and this film works well in low light. I've used it for tanned and fair skinned models with excellent results for both. It tones down the reds, smooths contrast between tones and colors, and softens skin blemishes. It gives a soft but sharp look to portraits. It also scans very well.

My favorite film out there. Rich consistent accurate sharp colors. Great clarity even with photos taken in low lighting and in motion (ie. concerts). People will ask what film you use- [...] Excellent film product for high quality shots.

I have been using this film since it came out. I use it for weddings, sports ( especially for indoor swimming )and outdoor functions. Some time I have a request for the cd to be done with a high resolution and that works well too.
