  • Portra.

    ..yeah it's likely I'll settle on Portra. It is good film and scans well.

    Was looking for alternatives as well as I don't need Portra's great skin tones as I hardly ever shoot people, so could use a somewhat 'bolder' palette.
    Also wouldn't mind a more 'unique' look - Portra's very balanced and a lot of people are shooting it, so while it's quality it's look is somewhat 'mainstream'..
    Kodak Ultramax came to mind; have only shot 2 rolls of it yet and pretty happy with the results - it is sort-of weird though, as it's like cool and warm at the same time, it gives rather warm reds but is always looking somewhat "fresh" (see attached pic).
    Ah well.. in an ideal world there'd be CineStill 100, 400 and 800D for a fiver!

  • OK, if you're trying to avoid the hipster "kinfolk" look, maybe ektar instead.
    Like you say, you don't shoot many people and it scans gloriously. Or you could go crazy and shoot Tmax for a year...
