ref: here is a similar thread for black and white.

i got my roll of ektar back from costco. the exposures are so good that i can easily imagine ditching digital photography.

i'm shooting portra 400 vc next.

i'm going to compare kodak 160vc, kodak 160nc, fuji 160c, and fuji 160s for portraiture use. who knows--maybe i'll prefer the vivid colors (vc / c) over the natural colors (nc / s).

i'm currently shooting kodak portra 160 vc.

i just ordered these films:
(1) kodak portra 160 nc
(1) fujifilm pro 160c
(1) fujifilm pro 160s
(2) fujifilm pro 400h

prices from f/11 in bozeman, mt, with b&h prices in parentheses.

FUJI
160c $10 ($5.8)
160s $9.4 ($5.2)
400h $10 ($5.5)
press 800 $6 ($3)

KODAK
ektar $6 ($4.4)
160nc $9 ($4.7)
160vc $9 ($5.8)
400nc $10 ($5.8)
400vc $10 ($6)

fuji 400h has the largest margin ($4.50). luckily, shipping for one roll from b&h is only $4.45.





:D



buy two rolls from b&h (shipped together), and you save considerable change.
