Kodak Portra 800 120 format - Expired 05/2013

Capture moody, low-light atmospheres with legendary professional colour science. This is a single, factory-sealed 120 roll of Kodak Portra 800, expired in May 2013.

Portra 800 is widely regarded as one of the most versatile and powerful high-speed colour negative emulsions ever engineered. Renowned for its ability to handle difficult mixed lighting, deep shadows, and fast-moving subjects without sacrificing skin-tone accuracy, it delivers a remarkably tight grain structure for an 800-speed film. Having rested in storage for over a decade, this roll bridges professional low-light performance with the dreamy, organic character of aged film—offering rich tonal depth, softer highlight roll-off, and subtle, vintage warmth.

The Highlights

• High-Speed Medium Format Powerhouse: Combines a fast ISO 800 baseline with the expansive surface area of a 120 negative, making it the ultimate tool for evening street scenes, dim interiors, and overcast weather.

• Legendary Portra Skin Tones: Engineered to maintain flattering, natural flesh tones even when pushed into challenging lighting environments where other fast films turn muddy.

• Robust Expiry Stability: High-tier professional colour negative stocks are manufactured with advanced stabilizing dye couplers. Stored with care over the years, Portra 800 retains impressive density and clean shadow structure.

• Standard Lab Processing (C-41): Built on a clear colour negative base with zero remjet backing. Fully compatible with any commercial minilab or home C-41 kit.
