--NOTICE--
This publication has been superceded by Kodak
publication E-4040, KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA
160NC, 160VC, 400NC, 400VC, and 800 Films.
This change reflects improvements made to the PORTRA Film
family in September 2006. A new generation of KODAK
PROFESSIONAL PORTRA 160- and 400-speed Films have
been reengineered to deliver significantly finer grain while
maintaining superb skin tone reproduction. These new
PORTRA Films will be available worldwide on a stock-turnover
basis beginning in Q4 2006. For more information, please

KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA Films offer
photographers both variety and consistency. You have your
choice of speed, color saturation, and format for virtually
any shooting situation. PORTRA Films deliver beautifully
matched final prints across speeds and formats: 35 mm, 120,
220, and sheet formats; NC (natural color) and VC (vivid
color); 100T, 160, 400 and 800 speeds. The PORTRA Film
family yields consistently rich and detailed negatives with a
neutrally balanced tone scale from shadows to highlights. An
emulsion overcoat and scanner friendly design make
PORTRA Films the perfect choice for photographers and
labs who scan negatives.
