Portra 160 Color Negative 120 Film - 5 Rolls - Expired 10/24

Kodak Portra 160 120 Film, 5-Pack (Expired 10/24) — analog warmth for a fraction of fresh-stock price

The gist: Five rolls of medium-format Portra 160, recently expired, for travelers shooting film who want Portra's signature look without paying current fresh-stock prices.

• Accurate, warm skin tones: In 120 format specifically, Portra 160 is regarded as delivering some of the most accurate color and skin-tone rendering in Kodak's portrait line.
• Low grain, medium contrast: Built for portraits, landscapes, and lifestyle shots — the kind of travel photography that benefits from soft, natural color over punchy saturation.
• Only lightly expired: This batch expired October 2024, so it needs little to no exposure compensation — color negative film ages gracefully, especially this soon past its date.
• 5-roll batch: Enough for a multi-week trip without re-ordering mid-journey, and buying expired stock is the standard way film shooters save money.

The Phoblographer's emulsion review of Portra 160 notes it "shines" in 120 format with warm, natural skin tones and medium contrast, making it a favorite for portrait and lifestyle work.

Best for: Travelers shooting medium-format film who want Portra's classic look at a discount for being recently expired. Skip it if: you don't own a 120-format camera, or you need guaranteed peak color accuracy for paid client work — stick to fresh stock for that. Runs around $40 for 5 rolls — check the current price before buying. Opened film is not refundable.
