When I first started shooting film I was overwhelmed by all the different options. I often heard other photographers recommending Kodak Portra 400 and Kodak Ektar 100, but I had no idea what their strenghts and weaknesses were. So I just shot a bunch of both films to get a sense of where they performed best.
Portra has a reputation as a premier portrait photography film, but it is also suitable for landscapes and street photography. It produces true-to-life colors that remain neutral, yet vibrant at the same time.
Ektar has a tendency to produce very saturated, vibrant colors. It tends to favor saturating red/orange tones, while green tones remain truer to life. One area where Ektar tends to flounder is portrait photography. Since it saturates red tones, people with lighter skin tend to have a sunburnt look, which isn't very flattering. Your results may vary.
