Just got proofs back from the nephew's wedding. Portra was definitely a good
choice, although I credit a lot of it to a VERY good local professional
processor and printer. I had figured the Portra 800 would be more grainy,
but the grain was less than I expected. I also expected the color cast to be
off since the church's lights were very dim and yellow and I wasn't allowed
to use flash during the ceremony, but the color cast was actually pleasantly
warm with lots of detail, and skintones weren't far off. I haven't used it
for any other applications, but it did work out very well for this one. I
now wish I'd gotten some in 120 -- would've been fun. To make this on-topic:
shot the wedding with a PZ-1p w/ 500FTZ flash, and a 645 with a Sunpak 555
w/Lumiquest softbox (first time to use it; worked GREAT).
