Fuji Pro 400H

[@HerbTheriault]

That bleach bypass roll is kind of fantastic.

[@MrJoonat]

Definetly! I have 4 rolls of 400H and i want to do it at least for one of them.

[@ryanbhangdia]

agreed!!

[@Mazzeltoph]

Same, my work (camera store) bought up almost all pro 400H rolls in my and the surrounding countries and sold them for a ridiculous 50 euro for a 5-pack 120 film after it was discontinued. It was the cheapest color film we sold on mediumformat and i bought about three packs and still keep them frozen to use them whenever i am going to shoot something special. Definately going to BB this film now because i too was a bit underwhelmed by the colours and love the more grungy BB look.

[@salamander405]

The Fuji greens really pop in the bleach bypass, it gives me a vibe that reminds me of dilapidated buildings being overgrown

[@toomanynegatives]

Hi it’s me 2023 and pro 400h is still easily a available in 120.

[@RJMPictures]

That bleach bypass was epic

[@vikmanphotography7984]

400H really needs to be shot at ISO 50-100 for best results. That bleach bypass looked amazing though

[@atticdarkroom]

I'm disappointed I didn't try overexposing, pushing, or pulling.

[@KiinaSu]

Yo I need to bleach bypass my Pro 400H. Never tried it but it looks amazing. Should've gotten more packs but my freezer space was limited.

[@atticdarkroom]

If you have a few rolls laying around I'd say it's worth trying at least once.

[@TheLastDacian]

Bleah bypass is the look to go for this film.

[@FookFish]

2:34 rip

[@SinaFarhat]

Nice! From what I understand it's the cost of the materials that the film requires that caused Fuji to stop making it! A version two should be released soon, just like with acros!

[@atticdarkroom]

Hopefully, but given Fuji's current trajectory it's probably not likely.

[@filipecostapt6427]

If Fuji was still interested in film, and if the reason for the discontinuation was true, we should be expecting Pro 400H to be produced again. Tho I really think Fuji just justify the discontinuation of another stock with the most easy thing they could think off, they just do not want to be involved in film (except Instax) anymore Well they could rebrand Portra 400 and sell it has Pro 400H II, but that´s the most we are gonna get

[@JHurrenPhotography]

@@filipecostapt6427 at least it could be cheaper, perhaps? Certainly Kodak would give Fuji a bro discount

[@adamevans1989]

That wasn't exactly true, the real reason is they had to mothball the factory, due to the pretty strict covid restrictions put in place by the Japanese government. Their strategy was to get by on frozen master rolls until they could restart production. Pro 400H just had a very small supply and ran out in early 2021. There's an article on the Kosmo Foto website where a Fuji UK rep (and Fuji Japan) basically admit that they had to stop production, they are restarting production because they see the demand, and that they could bring back Pro 400H. Fuji consumer film stock levels in Japan also seems to be on the up, so there's some hope :)

[@LaskyLabs]

Well it's 2024 now. Fuji has axed all film except instax in the US. No Superia, no Fujicolor 100, and all of their slide film that I ordered six months ago is still on backorder. (Superia and Fujicolor 100 seem to be Japanese domestic market only now?) So, the optimism is nice, but as of now, I am incredibly sad because Superia was my favorite film. And also mad because they still haven't filled the USA back orders...

[@DeeB1345]

That comment about Fuji slide film aged like an everlasting fountain of raw sewage.

[@BaileySherman-fe7kg]

??? Velvia has been discontinued

[@Cahejo]

3:50 Wow, that's not what I expected. That looks very moody! Really nice!

[@atticdarkroom]

Bleach bypass is sneaky good. I'm almost convinced to bleach bypass all of my C41.

[@pyannaco]

Love these and the experimentation. I think what made Pro400H unique was the 4th colour layer of cyan? If so I think you need to try Quad-chroming a roll...

[@gadler8482]

God damn that bleach bypass lookin mighty fine!!

[@okok72277]

I've never ever liked bleach bypass but these Fuji ones oh my

[@ManyDoors777]

I miss this film....

[@quite1enough]

I received my first film camera right after the new of discontinuation of 400H, and wanted to try some color portraits and color film photography specifically because 400H. F for my plans.

[@Uwe_Ludolf]

I am glad I have two or three years of supply in the freezer. I like the colours and it was the cheapest colour film in the Netherlands for years.

[@arachnenet2244]

I unironically made a pog face when I saw this video pop up in my subscriptions list...

[@AnalogueDiaries]

I only have shot Pro 400H twice and pushed it to 1600 both times. Bleach bypass results you've got look great. I'm gonna try it sometimes. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@atticdarkroom]

I'm disappointed I didn't push it, I might try that if I stumble upon another roll. I like the way the bleach bypass came out. I recommend it!

[@Al_Bx]

The bleach bypass looks AWESOME !! Dang!

[@allys537]

April 2023 here, Fuji isn't making anything anymore, due to "lack of raw materials" or as we like to say in the rest of the world, they closed their film plants. Anyway, I have enough in 120 to last a few years... 35mm not so much. Hopefully they decide to reopen someday and have Kodak stop making their film and re release their nice film.

[@emiknits02]

that bleach bypass had me actually going "oh my god", cover my mouth in awe, pause the video and just stare at that first pic for a while

[@ThePhotoDept]

this was amazing. the end got me.

[@senbilverglate9638]

Dayum those bleach bypass shots are cool as shit

[@atticdarkroom]

I love it. I'm seriously considering bleach bypassing all my C41.

[@senbilverglate9638]

@@atticdarkroom I haven't expiramented with it at all, really wanna try tho. My lab still has pro400h on shelf for like 20 bucks a roll so I might have to grab one and try this out

[@mgouat]

While 2 stops is generally about right for cross processing color negs, well, try that with Ektar...

[@forindooruseonly646]

Great vid, I'm glad you bought some of the last available stock and then proceeded to turn most of it into complete shit, cause that's kinda what 400H was from the beginning. Except the bleach bypass, those looked awesome. On a more serious note, it's always sad to see a film die, especially during the current resurgence in popularity of film.

[@atticdarkroom]

It's like I have the Midas touch, but instead of turning everything into gold everything I touch turns into straight trash.

[@forindooruseonly646]

@@atticdarkroom I love it. Bring on the trash.

[@jursku1661]

This one is a blast shot at 200

[@psychicmonkey]

Even just shooting at 320 helps lift the haze off of 400H. I find that shooting a full stop over to get those pastel tones a bit of a waste, 400H is an amazing landscape film at 320 - retains those lush green colours and has good contrast and shadow

[@jursku1661]

@@psychicmonkey thanks for the tip, I’ll try that

[@jursku1661]

@@psychicmonkey the advantage with shooting it at 200 is for portraits, skin tone are ultra clean and you can get a lot details in the shadows even on harsh light

[@ale_s45]

Wow that bleach bypass was definitely a great success. By the way how were the rolls scanned?

[@jtkazousky6029]

Yoooo, that bleach bypass is amazing!!! I personally love 400H just can't get myself to shoot it with it being discontinued 😂

[@psajgal]

I never cared much the pro 400h look, tho it's still sad to see another film go. Won't be long until kodak kills the prices even more. I still have a roll of 120 400h in my fridge, might save it and sell it to buy a house in a few years. Great video as always, that bleach bypass looks straight up beautiful!

[@atticdarkroom]

While you enjoy your mansion I'll be looking at my horribly exposed redscale roll and wonder "what if...?"

[@vikmanphotography7984]

Shoot some portraits at ISO 50 (develop as normal) and you won't be disappointed. Or own a house. These two are equal.

[@oscargarcia8204]

Hail Portra!

[@andrewbroekhuijsen6770]

Man, now I want to try bleach bypassing.

[@Fortnite87463]

I really enjoy your videos. Can you do an episode where you push portra really far

[@atticdarkroom]

I like the idea. I'll have to look into it. Thanks!

[@jakewestbrook3214]

the cross processing effect has something to do with the 4th color layer- i've gotten blue/green effects on pro 160nps and old superia 400s

[@austing2968]

Betting the video he’s teasing is him shooting Portra 400 with color filters, developing in B&W chemicals and trichroming it. (Or at least I hope it is because I’m really interested in the results of such)

[@atticdarkroom]

You are correct. But I've actually already made a video about that. This roll is being used for something else...

[@ar5846]

why do you shoot 6x6

[@atticdarkroom]

I am not a volume shooter. If I had to shoot a 36 exp roll it would take me forever to finish a roll, let alone the 5 I shot for this video. 12 shots is reasonable. I can get through it pretty quickly but with enough shots for variety and to get the point across. Also medium format is dope.

[@psyhol1999]

Great vid as always, personally never liked this film, non the less RIP to all the discontinued fuji films

[@atticdarkroom]

I feel bad for people who loved 400H. Any film being discontinued hurts the film community and even though I don't like the film, it still sucks to see it go.

[@theo_korner]

how do you compensate exposure for bleach bypass dev? do you compensate at all?

[@atticdarkroom]

No comp, just shot it at box speed.

[@revaaron]

midwest photo has 400h for $63/5-pack. that e-6 cross was surprising.

[@wanderingdreamer4088]

if you bleach bypass a film it becomes desaturated, but what about over processing it with blix ? haven't found someone to try this

[@atticdarkroom]

That might be fun to explore. I'll have to try it out sometime.

[@BriManeely]

*stares questionably into my bag of misc color film* *has a roll of 400H spooled to 620* huh. Well now.

[@jankubat2694]

Push that woman 1 stop in development and witness magic. Also PRO 400H isn't really comparable to Portra in tone, they had a muted pastel filmstock in the past the Natura 1600.

[@studiosnch]

My last shot of C41 film were two rolls of 400H, two years before the discontinuation; these rolls are still not developed because of laziness to send them to a lab, but I have them chilled to keep their freshness, at least. I already expected its departure though after hearing the previous generation Acros discontinuation back then, so it did not affect my shooting rate. Still, it was sad to me as I shot quite a number of rolls in university and during my masters with this film in 35mm and 120. A bitch to meter but if you want them TONEZZZZ this was the film to choose - and Portra 400 as well. Long Live Mastin Labs 400H, I suppose.

[@nervouspotato]

I think I'm going to hold my last Pro 400H until I start developing myself and will bleach bypass it.

[@podhoncisty]

Expose Red scale 2 stops and you'll be fine 👍
