I don't want to start a film flame war, and I don't shoot weddings... 
but I tried out a roll of the Portra NC and I thought it was the worst 
color film I have ever put through my camera. The colors were muted and 
hardly realistic. Certainly it could have been processing but I have 
stuck with the cheap consumer grade Fuji and Agfa films and am very 
happy with them.


Cheers,

Dave
