Interesting. Portra VC should actually be rated at 100 as well. Perhaps they got honest with ultra to deliver that saturation and punch. However, I thought the box was marked Portra 160UC, but I haven't shot film in almost a year, so my memory may be failing me.

Paul,
According to Kodak, Ultra Color, unlike Portra,  is
only avail in either 100 or 400.
Extremely fine and even grain takes some searching on
a light box using an 8x loupe.

Again, I would rate it
at 100 if you're looking for punchy results.

Thanks ... Isn't Kodak's UC a 400 speed film? I'm
really looking for
something in the100 ASA arnge, +/- a bit.

Shel,
Kodak's new Ultra Color is advertised as.."the
most
highly saturated print film available..". Shot a
roll
of 120 and was very pleased at the fine tight
grain.
Punchy, but very light colors tended to blow out
a
bit, thus making spot metering &/or -comp setting
worth including on some scenes.

Slower speed films preferred.  I was thinking of
Reala as it seems punchy
enuf to overcame the greyness of the day.
