Never really seen that problem (with the blues).  I will say though that my
latest roll of 160VC turned out with some wack colors on about half the
roll.  I overexposed in bright sunlight, and it made the colors go haywire.
In more subdued lighting, 1/3 to 1/2 stop overexposure was fine, but I think
I'm going to stick with box speed from now on.  Unlike other C-41 films,
Portra seems to do better with underexposure (that's my experience at
least).  But that was the first time I have had less than satisfactory
results with a roll of Portra.
