Kodak Portra 800 is Kodak's professional ISO 800 color negative film — moderate grain, natural skin tones preserved even at high sensitivity, generous exposure latitude. It can be exposed from EI 400 to EI 3200 with development adjustments. Ideal for indoor wedding receptions, concerts, and events in low ambient light.

Limites

− High price
Portra 800 is less well known than the 400 but just as well engineered — it's Kodak's answer to high-speed color without sacrificing Portra's qualities (skin tones, latitude). Exposed at EI 1600, it stays usable for very low-light events. Pushing it to EI 3200 produces more visible grain but still-recognizable skin tones — a rare performance at that speed.
