  • Noob alert:
    I seem to have a load of Portra 160 knocking about. I’ve never done pushing of ISO, but would that be something that would make a 160 film potentially a bit more useful?

    I thought it would be useful when I went to Hawaii, but it was rainy and overcast the whole time we were there.

  • I know this is not 160 but this guy has some good videos for pushing/pulling various films:

  • You could google (or search Flickr) for examples.
    In the end I guess one should just try it out and see whether one likes the look.

    You can push / pull all colour negative film (some more than others) and still get usable results.
    Sometimes colours shift, and contrast changes - but you'll have to check that out yourself with the film you got in the light you're shooting in, and decide whether you like how it looks or not.

    I just wouldn’t.

    It’s nice film. Put it in a rangefinder with a shorts/fast lens or shoot it on a tripod or just keep it until summer.

    Buy some 400 or something black & white to push.
