Portra 100T - contast ?

I have searched the web and come up with all kinds of data/specs on the
product but no info specificically on whether 100T is a LOW contrast film
or not ? Or perhaps what it is most comparable or similar to. Is it for
example similar to Portra 160NC ?

thanks

sometimes you just have to shoot a roll of each and make your own judgement.
I think this is one of those times.

Look at the slope of the characteristic curve. Steeper slope = higher
contrast.

Thanks, but that only makes sense if you are 1/2 way familiar with film
curves. Or have a curve to compare it to perhaps - here's the link to it's
curve - what do you think it "means"

That's exactly the idea -- compare the curves of two films. The one that
slopes more steeply has higher contrast.

How to read these curves is no mystery. Kodak has a number of data books
that tell you. They mainly explain black-and-white film curves; from there
it's pretty obvious how color film curves work.
