This question will no doubt spark a long term thread.  But here is my 2
Cents worth.

I find that Portra 160 NC is a wonderful film.  It combines a very fine
grain image with accurate and saturated color, and has a wide latitude for
shadow detail and highlight detail in the same photo.

I shoot it with my 4t.  I usually spot meter the brightest part of the shot
and the darkest. If the shutter swing is 3 steps or less, the Portra will do
it.  I have had 11 x 14 prints made from shots with my 35/2 and they are
beautiful.  You cannot detect any grain in the enlarged photos. I really
think even a 16 x 20 is possible and that is stretching the capabilities of
any 35mm film.
