Re: Kodak "High Definition" 400 speed film?

[Bruce Rubenstein]

PGI = Print Grain Index It's Kodak's system for evaluating film grain. 
The grain is the same for UC400 and VC160. Other characteristics such as 
saturation and contrast may be different. You can look at the data 
sheets on the Kodak site.

Thanks Bruce, 

the shots look good to me!  JOOC, what does PGI stand
for?  Sorry I'm technically-challenged.
Based on your comment, would you say that it shows
similiar characteristics to the VC160, when you make
enlargements?
Thanks again for everyone's help!

The first 5 shots here:

were done with UC. The rest are Fuji 400. I'm not
sure what you can tell 
by looking at smallish files on a monitor. Prints
done on Royal Kodak 
paper look really good. The film has the same PGI as
VC160 which is 
lower than the other 400 Portra films.

Do you (or anyone else here on the list) have
     

sample
   

photos that I could look at, where you used Kodak
Portra 400UC?  I'm curious to see the colors,
especially with skin tones.  I have not shot it
     

yet,
   

and would appreciate a sneak peak before buying
     

some.
   

Thanks for the referral to Kodak-looks like a good
deal to me!
