How low can you go!
As promised here are example images of the new Kodak Portra 400 film with a bit of a twist… you get to vote… again! There are two different films shown, both films are a 400 speed color negative material… one of them is the new Kodak Portra 400. Which do you like? These scans represent the outer edge for a 400 speed film… EI 25 and 50 as well as 1600! In the last post here on FR you are voting on EI 100 and box speed 400- if you have not voted in that post yet please do now:

I will use the information gathered from both of these posts and your votes along with additional testing I am running for my final thoughts in Part 4 which will be next week.
All negatives were scanned on an Imacon Scanner as a 3F linear file with no sharpening… essentially a RAW scan.
All images were processed exactly the same in Photoshop. All images were captured with my Nikon FM3a and a 50mm f1.2 AI lens.
Tell every photographer you know to vote on this as the results will be very informative for our Figital community and will be covered in my fourth and final post on this review on Novemember 23, 2010… vote now!!
Be sure to Vote now!!!!
Did you push and pull these in development too?
No, standard C41 development.
So does that mean that you can change your iso setting on the camera mid-roll and everything will work out fine with regular development?
Exactly! With a bit of knowledge on scanning and a good scanner the files I have posted could go much further with tweaking so things are looking very good indeed!
Wow. Would love to see some at 1600 in low light.
I will try to make that happen over the weekend.

How were these metered? Did you shoot in manual mode to ensure that the exposures were identical?
of course I used the same meter and shot in manual…
