Kodak Portra 400 - 620
The middle speed in Kodak's Portra line of professional color films, Portra 400 is an extremely versatile film that can be used on a variety of subject matter and in an array of lighting conditions to great effect. Touted primarily as a portrait film, hence the name, Portra 400 has earned acclaim among photographers of all kinds, from lifestyle to landscape, macro to still life. Boasting excellent color accuracy, fine grain, high sharpness, superb latitude, and a seemingly inexhaustible ability to chew through positive adjectives, Portra 400 is the type of film that you should always have at least one roll of in your camera bag.
The 620 format shares many similarities with 120. The film and backing paper are identical with the only major differences being in the dimensions of the spool that 620 film is wrapped upon. 620 spools have thinner end caps, a smaller "keyhole" at each end of the spool, and a thinner center column with a smaller circumference. These differences can prevent most 620 cameras from accepting film on 120 spools, and vice versa. No companies directly manufacture 620 format film anymore. Instead there are various sources which make 620 spools and then re-spool 120 film onto these spools.
