Pushing Portra 160?

[siman23]

Has anyone pushed Portra 160 a couple stops like the 400? Does it handle it aswell? I'm just getting back into film after a few years away and just been looking online what films are about, but the Portra 400 sounds ideal for me if its as good as they say.

I've exposed Portra 160 at ISO 400 and 500 with no push (i.e normal processing) and all the images came out out great, just a tiny increase in grain and contrast. It is very similar to Portra 400 which I have exposed at 1600 with normal processing and still looks great, I imagine with push processing it may look even better though.

Thanks, I've only used the older portra nc, just ordered some of the newer porta.
