One thing about Portra films (like Royal Gold) is *where* you develop
and
print them. When I was in Perth, many quick 1 hr labs sold Kodak Portra
promoting it as the "Kodak professional film" but none could D&P the
film
well as they don't have the proper colour channels for it.
Whilst it's true it's a pro film, bad D&P gives the film a bad name and
many amateurs/beginners/casual photographers pay more *expecting* better
quality only to find that Kodak Gold III looks better!!
In the end, only 2-3 pro labs in Perth could print Portra properly and
boy,
do they charge an arm and a leg (AUD$45 = US$27) just for a proof roll
(2/3
size of 6x4??).
