Generated color character — not a sample photograph

Boston Film 400 is our house-brand ISO 400 colour negative — a warm, forgiving all-rounder that sits right between the everyday ease of a Gold-type film and the natural rendering of a Portra, at a friendly price.

Character & look

Boston Film 400 delivers warm, pleasing colour with fine grain for its speed and a wide, forgiving exposure latitude. Skin tones stay natural rather than overly saturated, highlights roll off gently, and it scans cleanly with a slightly nostalgic, golden warmth. As a 400-speed film it is flexible enough for sun, shade and indoor light, making it an ideal one-roll-does-everything choice for travel and daily shooting.

Shooting & development tips

Rate it at EI 200-320 for extra-rich shadows and creamier highlights; it loves a little overexposure like most colour negative films. A great first film to learn on, and a reliable everyday carry.

How does it compare to Kodak 400 films?

It sits between a Gold-type consumer film and Portra: warmer and punchier than Portra, but with finer grain and more natural skin tones than a basic consumer 400.
