Medium format review: Fuji 400h


Fuji 400
Fuji 400h Medium format review

My name is Andrew and I am a fine art destination wedding photographer in Italy (Lake Como, Amalfi). I am glad to share with you the best memories of Fuji 400h medium format film on this page. Would I say it is my favourite - no, do I feel comfortable with it - probably yes. I know many users compare it to Portra 400. As a colorist and film photographer I would disagree since for me they are two different films. Even though both have a very good chance to survive +4 exposure I find the color palette of both films to be different. Also pushing Portra is way more fun than pushing Fuji but the most annoying factor for me - the Fuji tint that I do not like at all. As a Canon user I am rather fond of warm colors that you can also find in Portra. Fuji (all type of Fuji film) to me has some annoying tint that I always battle in Lightroom in post. Then there is a question - what's the point to use it at all?

Well, true, to keep film as close to film try using as less LR and PS :)


In any case Fuji 400h was my entrance to film photography, it was my first pro film that I have ever used and I am glad that in the last 2 years I have built such a collection of Fuji 400h shots that I can now share with you. Enjoy and I hope you will like Fuji 400h more than I do :)

I am no professional but very enthusiast hobby photographer especially interested in making different color looks for Capture One at the moment. From this background I have acknowledged this color tint You mention. My comment is to confirm Your view. All the other colors look beautiful and appealing but skin colors of bride(s) are unpleasant. It though is probable that Your clients haven't been unhappy with it as You have taken beautiful photos of them and the overall look of the photos is very pleasing. I personally like how the greens look in Your photos.
