None since I shot mostly outdoor photos. But some people shots weren't that great either.

Saturation and contrast are bad. I do not like how green color is rendered. And ISO 400 doesn't fare well in some of sport action photos I took.

It mentioned that this film is for "portrait" photography. Perhaps that's the reason why I wasn't satisfied with its performance for outdoor scenes.

* Great skin tones. A good portrait film. * Accurate colors. * Low contrast, holds detail across a wide range.

* Really a 320 film. * Grain is apparent at 8x10. * Not very sharp, though that can be an advantage for portaits. * A little difficult to scan; can require tricky color correction (could be my scanner).

Note: this review is based on daylight and indoor/low light shooting, and home film scanning/printing. I really like this film for its intended use: photographing people in low light situations. In fact, I like NPH better than its slower cousins, NPC or NPS. It produces very pleasing skin tones and tends to hide blemishes. It even handles a baby''s skin well. It''s low contrast and will hold detail over a wide range. HOWEVER, if you expose at the ISO rating of 400 you will lose shadow detail. I''ve seen dark clothes go black on this film. Expose at EI 320 and develop normally. Outside of its intended use I''m not crazy about this film. It has noticeable (though not objectionable) grain at 8x10 and not enough "pop" for most other applications. It''s also tricky to scan and color correct. When I need an ISO 400 print film for people, I''ll grab NPH. When I need the same for anything else, I''ll grab Supra. Reala and NPH are an ideal wedding combination.

Rich graduation. Moderate colour saturation. Fine details in highlights and shadows.

Pricy.

I was about to shoot models during a hazy day in march. I figured that a 100 or 160ASA film wasn´t fast enough. So I purchased a couple of Fuji NPH400. Seeing the prints afterwards was a pleasant sight ! Very nice skintones and I was able to see structures in the models black clothing. Grain isn´t the finest but atleast one of the most beautiful I have ever seen with a 400ASA film. I usually shoot weddings with Reala or NPC/NPS160 but I would not hesitate using NPH400 if needed. Recommended!

Fine grain, great color and skin tones

Worthless at advertised ISO. A setting of 400 will yield vewry dark, muddy pictures. Shoot at ISO 250 or 1/2 or 1 full stop overexposed...experiment for yourself. More expensive than consumer grade film, needs t be stored either in the fridge or freezer, for best results avoid 1-hour processors and go to a good pro lab.

If you want faithful skin tones and very good color rendering, this is the film for you. It''s very well suited for shots of all types involving people and animals. For me, compared to shots outdoors with no flash, it was significantly better when used indoors with bounce flash. Grain is very small indeed.

Good saturation. Accurate skin tones. Not too contrasty

Does not tolerate underexposure well. Shoot it 1/2 to 1 stop over or your pictures wil come out dark!!!

One of the best print films available. Skin tones are accurate and contrasts are not pushed to the extremes even if colors are very saturated. Very good results with a flash as well. Best shot at 320 for better saturation.

Unbelievably fine grained for a 400 film, excellent balance in terms of sharpness vs color saturation, beautiful skin tones

Quite expensive

Absolutely the best ISO400 film in the market, not even the new Kodak Portra 400NC.

Unbelievably sharp for a 400 speed film. I got it to 10x12 a candle light shot and it looks like it was done on a 100 speed film.

non, a bit expensive.

I really love this film, now I get speed plus sharpness.

Well, none really. Seems sort of ordinary to me.

Nothing really significant. Seems to do poorly if underexposed by as little as a stop.

I shot two rolls of this and was unimpressed. To be fair, the printing got mangled on both rolls, but even taking this into account, this film did not impress me. The colors were OK, but nothing to brag about. The speed was OK, but not exceptional. The saturation was adequate, but so what? I would rather shoot Fuji Superia 400 than this film. This film seems to need a significant upgrade to me, given the exceptionally high quality of Fuji pro 800 (overall best film I have ever used, period) and the more than adequate color and snap of Fuji Superia 400.

You name it.

Skin tones and definition come out warm and very clear, daylight outdoor or indoor flash shots, cannot say the same for Kodak products.

Lack of availability in area.

I only carried NPH in my bag until discovering Provia 100, now I don't leave home without them.

I thought this film did okay flesh tones, okay daylight film.

Though the flesh tones were okay, found the rest of the photos lack similar color reporduction. (Had 5 rolls procesed at 3 labs over 2 months, so it is not the labs.) For example the cream backdrop was an off-white. I accedently got a little florecent reflection off a wall and the wall came out a strong green. (I have not had this problem with Kodak films and I tested to see if it was incedental or just the film.)

This film sucks. I have tested it compleetly. I cannot find a redeming quality about it. Okay one, the grain structure was accesaptable and the flesh tones came out pretty acurate. (So that was 2)
