Re: Portra 800 and weddings
Hey, when you're the best ... ;) Actually, I used the standard 75mm for the 645, a Sigma 28-80 f3.5-5.6, an FA 80-320, and an A 50mm f2. I recognized immediately the need for a wide angle and a shorter portrait leaf shutter lens for the 645 -- the 75mm worked well, but I would have had a lot more versatility with a couple more lenses. Hopefully, I can pick up at least one of the above in the next few months. - Original Message - From: Mark D.

Portra 800 and weddings
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.
