New Portra: What do you think?

[bwcolor]

Here is a link to a family photo shot with an RF645. Lots of dynamic range..esp. the TIFF. Not a great photo, but shows resolution/grain. I believe that this is a downsized image scanned on my Epson V-750.

Just this week I was asking about this film as I fancied giving it a try. Picked up this months copy of BJP and there is test on it. The reviewer ended the article saying '..portraitists will love what it does under ambient light....and when finding himself in the realms of darkness he would use it too'.

Very positively surprised after I scanned my first two rolls yesterday. I agree with most of what has been said here: low grain, large dynamic range, great lattitude.
Very close to Fuji Pro400H in my opinion, with warmer tones.
My experience with portra so far is based on the 160NC, in comparison, I think that this new portra is much easier to scan.
