Kodak Portra 160 (36 exp)

Kodak Portra 160 is the finest-grain member of the professional Portra family. At ISO 160 it offers finer grain than Portra 400 while retaining the same natural skin tones, wide exposure latitude, and accurate colour rendering the Portra line is famous for. The ideal portrait film for studio and controlled outdoor conditions.

GearFrame's Take

The finest-grain Portra — for controlled conditions where you want the smoothest, most natural portrait film available.

Low Light ISO 160 is too slow for dim conditions — switch to Portra 400 or 800.
📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
