I very recently shot a roll of the new Kodak Portra UC400, and it is very impressive:
- true 400 speed film
- very fine grain and very sharp (after I look at the pictures I checked the data sheets and saw that it has the same PGI and sharpness as VC160 Portra)
- rich, accurate color and excellent skin tones printed on Royal Kodak paper
- prints were very well color corrected (no filter) even from florescent light
- low to moderate contrast

The only down side is that it is only available as Made in USA (no low price imports yet) at close to $6 @ roll

Hi,

Thanks for everyones responses to my questions. I actualy received the brief
today and its a little different from what i thought it was going to be.
Most of the shots will be of the consierge area of the hotel and the rest
will be of bars and some portraits. Most of the advise given is still
applicable though and i'll be heading out to buy a spirit level tomorrow for
the camera :)

The shots have to be done with on camera flash or available light, i've
explained the limitations of this to the client, so their choice :) and neg
film is fine.

Any one got any reccomendations on a good film stock to use? i'm thinking at
this stage i'll be shooting Supra 400, some with a colour corrected filter
and other without, they actualy want the colour cast on some of the shots.

Regards,
Paul
