This past week, Kodak introduced two new versions of the Portra film family, Portra 400 NC and Portra 400 VC. Scott DiSabato and I discuss the introduction of the film, Kodak’s commitment to the film community, and the technical aspects of these new versions.

This conversation with Scott is the second in the past few months, the first being the introduction of the new TMAX 400 film at the Photoplus Expo show in late October 2007. The release of these new Portra versions (NC for subtle color and natural skin tones in low-light situations or with on-camera flash and VC for enhanced color in low light, using new film technology) allows photographers more latitude in their shooting and provides for less grain (noise to you digital-only users). Scott agrees with me as to the use of film, alongside of digital, in your work-flow and not “instead” of.
