It depends on what you are doing with them, doesn't it?

Yes, Sorry... I wanted to listen to different tips...
I have to make to types of pictures:
1) Buildings, achitecture (maybe not good conditiuons of light)
2) People, People inside their houses (light of ambience... no flash)

I Have nikon lens, tripod, 81B Filter

Maybe Kodak 160VC and 400VC are good for people... not for buildings...

Thanks,
Carlo

They are excellent films for certain needs but will probably deliver poor
results for other needs

Portra 400VC is very grainy for a 35mm film, but if you are shooting
4x5 sheet film, it's one of few choices. For architecture I recommend
Portra 400UC (ultracolor) instead. It is less grainy than Portra 160VC,
significantly less grainy than 400VC, and works well in overcast weather.
For people I recommend Portra 160NC, or if you have medium format, 400NC.
NC is an excellent low-contrast film with more-neutral skin tones than
Fuji NPS and lower contrast than Fuji NPH.

I used to use Portra 160vc. I have since switched to Fuji's NPS160.
I don't have any problem with Portra but just prefer the Fuji. Of
course I switched to Fuji at the time I was upset with Kodak for
discontinuing their Royal Gold 100.
