Description:

FROM KODAK
---
KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA 400BW Film is a
400-speed, multi-purpose, black-and-white film that offers
the elegance of black-and-white . . . and the convenience of
color. It is designed for processing in Process C-41 with
color negative films and can be printed on
KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA ENDURA, SUPRA
ENDURA, and ULTRA ENDURA Papers, as well as other
color negative papers.
The film is intended for exposure with daylight, electronic
flash, and artificial illumination. You can also obtain
pleasing results under other light sources, i.e. illumination in
stadiums, without using filters.
This film incorporates KODAK T-GRAIN Emulsions,
providing extremely fine grain and sharpness with relatively
high speed.
This film is excellent for portrait and wedding
applications, but can also be used for many commercial
applications.

Only shot this film once, it was an okay B&W for C-41, but not overly impressive.
I was cancelled when Kodak revamped the Portra line, and replaced with KODAK
BW400CN.  Emulated for posterities sake.  Decent film for portraits, I never enjoyed
it for much else.

Hints for use:

  *  Utilize white balance dropped to adjust photo to best appearance.  

  *  Work with contrast and brightness to get proper gray density you desire.

  *  Increase clairty if softly textured, increase black levels to bring out more texture.
