Kodak Portra 160 vs Kodak Ektar 100
Two fine-grained Kodak films, opposite intentions.
The same photograph, same exposure, both looks at full strength. See the untouched original.
The difference
At the low-ISO end Kodak sold two very different products. Portra 160 is the flattest, most neutral colour negative here — built to be graded. Ektar 100 is the most saturated — built to be finished. Both have essentially invisible grain and both reward a tripod; what they do with colour could not be further apart.
Which to use
Portra 160
People, studio, and anything you intend to edit further.
Ektar 100
Landscape and architecture, finished in camera.
