How they look
- Portra 400UC / Ultra Color 400UC
- High-saturation 400-speed professional colour negative film, sold as Portra 400UC and from 2004 rebranded Ultra Color 400UC. Kodak's 2003 Supra sheet recommended it as the replacement for Supra 400, with grain comparable to Portra 160VC.
- Professional Supra 400
- Professional colour negative film that Kodak said had the finest grain in its speed class and vibrant colour without oversaturated skin tones, with a scratch-resistant overcoat and good one-stop push results. Kodak's May 2003 sheet carries a discontinuance notice for Supra 100, 400 and 800.
