Hi.
Ive always photographed with the Kodak Portra 160, starting with the NC and VC versions. I just read somewhere (not sure where) that the ISO 400 has a larger Dmax range and better Highlight latitude. Can anyone with experience tell me if that's true, and how much of a differens in real usage this would make?

I shoot a lot of indoor Large format, and the range between indoor and outdoor (window) can be up to maybe 4-5 full steps. This works with the 160, exposing for the dark parts indoors and pulling back the outdoor a bit in the computer after scanning (Imacon). Would the 400 handle this better?

thanks
