“Portra 800 is a superb color negative film. It has the greatest dynamic range I have ever seen from an image capturing system. If you like getting all the detail out of the shadows and still have excellent highlight information, this film should be your choice. However, beware that since the dynamic range is very high, you will probably get a lot of grain, even with correct metering. The reason for that is, that it's very hard to get true blacks with this film (again, the very high dynamic range). The best way to get grain-free images with this film is to overexpose (usually one full stop of overexposure suffices). With this technique, you will get detail out of everything with minimal grain; however, you won't get the high iso you want. If you're just looking to get night shots and don't care about getting good shadow detail, I would recommend Lomography's 800 color negative film. Its dynamic range is limited and that will give you contrasty night shots (no need to overexpose). If you like the characteristic grain in the movies from the early 70s, just shoot this film at box speed and you'll be happy. Apart from the issue addressed above, it's a great film, the resolution and the high speed this film provides open up a lot of night shot opportunities which would be very hard to capture with normal color film.”
