I really haven't used it outside too much. But its really not going to be a higher contrast film I would say.
How about Kodak Supra 800? It is supposed to have higher contrast and punchy colors.

Mike,
Since I am usually working under rather "blah" conditions when I need the 800 film, I need something with a little more contrast in it. I have heard that Portra 800 has about the same kind of contrast as 160/400 NC, is that true?

Ken,
I heartily recommend Portra 800. Give it a try.

My normal film is Kodak Portra 160 or 400 NC. On early mornings
under cloudy conditions I use Kodak Max 800 because of the
additional speed and increased contrast. I don't particulary like
the color and the added grain of the Max 800, however. Has anyone
used a film that gives the color and grain of Portra NC with
additional speed and contrast?
