A Japan-market 400 speed color negative, and one of the last Fujifilm color negative films still actually manufactured by Fujifilm in Japan rather than made under contract elsewhere. It launched in 2009 and, despite the name, has no fourth color layer. Colors are rich and saturated with red and green carrying the image, a touch of orange in the shadows, and cooler blues playing a supporting role. It skips the greenish-yellow cast people associate with X-tra 400, and runs warmer than X-tra while staying cooler than Ektar. Grain is smoother than most 400 speed options like Super Gold 400 or X-tra 400, though still more visible than Portra, Ektar, or Pro 400H. Daylight balanced, so it's happiest outdoors, but shooting neon at night gives you a warm look worth chasing. Fujifilm issued a discontinuation notice in 2024, and rolls run around 2200 to 2400 yen in Japan, roughly 40 to 50 percent more than X-tra 400 used to cost. Grab it while it's around.
