    Portra 160... which camera ISO?

    Probably a silly question for a pro or a well seasoned amateur but with Kodak Portra 160VC, what ISO setting should I set on the camera? And if I choose either 100 or 200 do I need to have my developer push/pull accordingly?

    I've been shooting some black and white on an inherited Minolta SRT slr but with spring just around the corner I decided to pick up some color.

    Hi asterisk, welcome to PR For Portra 160 films, you want to set your ISO to 160. No pushing or pulling necessary. Here's Kodak's tech sheet on their Portra films that might help:

    Looks like you you've been lurking for a while I promise, we don't bite. Please feel free to jump right in. Hope to see some pics from the 160VC as I've been thinking about trying some out myself

    Happy Shooting,
    Aaron

    Re: Portra 160... which camera ISO?

    Ok, I see now. Looking closer at the dial it appears there are graduated marks between the numbered ISO settings, I suppose one of those corresponds with the correct setting?

    I think I signed up just to search old posts, they've usually helped me out of jams. Thanks for the pointer, shoulda looked closer at my camera.
