Leica IIIf and colour film

[Nick De Marco]

My latest blog features my mint IIIF having its third ever film put through it - this time some Kodak Portra 160 colour film. I also used the 50mm Leitz Summicron collapsible I picked up in London from Red Dot, which happens to be from 1955 too.

Very nice Nick! I never shot Portra. This film interests me. I just bought some Portra 400 and will give it a go through my IIIf and Summitar. Thanks!

Thanks Ray
I find the new Portra 400 a great fine grain colour film. What's most exciting about it for me is that you can push it to 1600 and even 3200 (at a push) and still get great colour punch and not huge grain
Look forward to see your results
