Kodak Portra 800 (36 exp)

Kodak Portra 800 is the fastest member of the professional Portra family — an ISO 800 colour negative film with natural skin tones, Portra's signature latitude, and a grain structure that remains impressively fine for its speed. Ideal for weddings, events, and any situation where light is limited and you need Portra quality.

GearFrame's Take

Portra quality in low light — faster than any other professional colour negative film with natural skin tones intact.

No significant limitations identified — this is a versatile camera without obvious weak spots for most shooters.

📝 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 →
