Fuji Pro NPH 400 120 format - Expired 12/2001

Load your medium format camera with a true masterpiece of vintage professional colour science. This is Fujifilm Pro NPH 400 in professional 120 format, expired in December 2001.

Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, NPH 400 was the premier choice for wedding, portrait, and editorial fashion photographers worldwide, legendary for its ultra-smooth skin tones and remarkably soft, flattering contrast profile. Having matured in the dark for a quarter of a century, this low-to-mid speed professional treasure offers a gorgeously muted, painterly palette for creative film photographers.

The Highlights

• The Definitive NPH Colour Palette: Unlike punchy consumer film stocks, NPH 400 was chemically tuned for understated elegance, subtle colour saturation, and exceptionally neutral grays. Having aged for 25 years, those professional dyes have mellowed into a dream-like, pastel-washed colour spectrum that digital filters simply cannot replicate.

• Fuji’s 4th Colour Layer Technology: Engineered with an advanced emulsion layout, this stock contains a fourth colour-sensitive layer designed to eliminate the nasty green colour casts caused by artificial fluorescent lighting. Even in an expired state, this sophisticated layout helps the film maintain an elegant, cinematic colour balance.

• Microscopic Professional Grain: Built as a high-end commercial workhorse, NPH 400 was engineered with ultra-fine grain technology. Spread across a large 120 medium format negative, it preserves fantastic edge sharpness and structural details, wrapped in a beautiful, highly tactile organic texture.

• Matured Studio Softness: Time has compressed the dynamic latitude of this film, giving it a wonderfully nostalgic character. Expect soft, creamy highlights balanced by deep shadows that gracefully drift into rich, atmospheric teal and magenta undertones.
