This is one of Kodak's latest Professional Colour Negative Portrait films with a speed of 160 ISO, balanced for daylight, with superb colour reproduction (even under mixed lighting sources like fluorescent) producing beautiful natural skin tones, a truly incredible ultra fine grain (newly developed micro structure optimised T-Grain emulsion), "high sharpness for the achievement of realistic texture & depth" and "extremely wide exposure latitude" (if you miscalculate the correct exposure by 2-3 f stops over OR under correct exposure the film will save you with excellent prints to be obtained from the resulting negatives). It also has "enhanced colour image stability" (meaning the negatives will last intact indefinitely with near archival keeping quality), "single channel suitability for uniform printing efficiency" and this film "is a NEW GENERATION KODAK EMULSION (having recently been re-engineered for greater sharpness, superb colour reproduction even under mixed lighting situations like fluorescent and extremely fine grain). IT HAS ALSO BEEN DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOR OPTIMUM SCANNING QUALITY" (which speaks for itself when using digital scanners).
This film produces superb subtle colour with beautiful natural & accurate skin tones as it's a portrait film. Its main features (apart from the EXTREMELY FINE GRAIN, EXTREMELY WIDE EXPOSURE LATITUDE, OPTIMIZED SHARPNESS with DISTINCT FINE DETAIL and ENHANCED SCANNING PERFORMANCE) is it's "SUPERB COLOUR REPRODUCTION even under MIXED LIGHTING like fluorescent lighting PRODUCING BEAUTIFUL, NATURAL SKIN TONES".
So what does all this mean for the advanced amateur & non-professional user (as professionals should know all this stuff already)? Well, it's one of the finest grain films around (perfect for EALLY BIG enlargements), has superb colour reproduction with superb, subtle colour reproduction but produces beautiful, natural skin tones (perfect for weddings, portraits, fashion shots etc under different forms of lighting), has exceptionnally wide-exposure latitude (the best exposure latitude in its class) & "superb skin tone reproduction" (which speaks for itself when using it for pictures of people). It also has superb archivability (i.e. keeping quality) if stored properly and it's negatives will yield superb prints for at least 80 YEARS so image retrieval is not a problem (unlike digital).
