    Hi all,

    I am after some advice on 120 colour film. Due to the low light conditions I want to use 800 ISO film however I need a good film for skin tones. The grain does not bother me too much, but to have nice skin tones would be good.

    I have been using Fuji Pro 800z as it was the first 800 ISO film I could get my hands on but its not that great for what I want as its designed for contrast.

    Any suggestions?

    I’d vote for Kodak Portra here too.

    Used Porta many years ago and was very satisfied with the results. Once I tried Fuji (whatever the rival to portra is called) and was not impressed at all. too grainy for starters and that was a 400 and too contrasty.
