As I said yesterday, I ran out of Portra at my son's wedding just before the reception/dance. All I could get my hands on was Gold 200. As it turns out it is a great party film , it's increased color saturation really picked up the bold colors of the balloons and decorations. Skin tones are a little too tanned for some tastes. It also did a good job of presenting clean whites and rich blacks. This is the film that the UK magazine Practical Photography picked as the best 200 speed color print film last year. I think it is a warmer film than Reala and, as far as the Supra goes, would be like comparing Gold 200 to Royal Gold. The Porta will give you less color saturation and contrast, more detail and terrific skin tones and good grain structure for a 400 speed film. Typical wedding film palette.
