Here we will look how the Portra 800 holds up when pushed by one stop in combination with the ECN-2 processing. Exposed as ISO800. Processing (ECN-2, Push +1) and scanning was done at Silbersalz35 in Germany.

If you are looking for used lenses or cameras, Japan can be a real dream destination. Having already been there two times myself I know from first hand experience that it isn’t easy to locate some of the more interesting stores though. My Finnish expat friend Juha Kannisto – who is living in Tokyo – has been helping out photographers from all over the world for years already when it comes to this topic.
I thought it would be useful to collect all this knowledge and turn it into an easy-to-access article, so here we are.
In 2023 Kodak Portra 800 is the fastest (or rather most sensitive) color negative film that is still in production. Ever since using that awful Cinestill 800T I was curious what results from a real ISO 800 color film will look like, so here we are. Exposed as ISO400. Processing (ECN-2) and scanning was done at Silbersalz35 in Germany.
In early 2023 I managed to buy two rolls of the ORWO Wolfen NC 500 color negative film and it is something special for several reasons, so let’s have a closer look. Processing (ECN-2) and scanning was done at Silbersalz35 in Germany.

After buying the Leica M6 I bought whatever films I could find and among those also was an Agfa APX400 black and white film. It was lying in the fridge for more than a year before I finally conviced myself to use it. Processing and scanning was done at urbanfilmlab in Germany.
The pictures you see in this article are from 1 roll.
