Neopan 400 was Fujifilm's professional ISO 400 black-and-white film, prized for grain noticeably finer than most 400-speed stocks and a smooth, slightly cool tonal signature. Discontinued in the mid-2010s, it is fondly remembered as a clean, modern-looking fast mono film.
Character & look
Neopan 400 used Fuji's Super Fine-Sigma grain technology to keep grain tight for its speed, giving crisp detail and a neutral-to-cool tonality that scanned beautifully. It offered wide latitude and pushed cleanly to 800 and 1600, making it a flexible reportage and street film. Its look was cleaner and less gritty than Tri-X, appealing to shooters who wanted speed without heavy grain.

Shooting & development tips
Rate at box speed for the finest grain, or push to EI 800-1600 in a speed developer for low light. As discontinued stock, buy refrigerated rolls; add a little exposure to older film to counter base fog.
FAQ
Is Neopan 400 the same as Neopan Acros?
No. Acros is a slow ISO 100 film (still made as Acros 100 II), while Neopan 400 was a separate faster ISO 400 emulsion that has been discontinued.
What can replace Fuji Neopan 400?
For a clean fast mono film today, Kodak T-Max 400 is the closest in fine grain; Ilford HP5 Plus offers a grittier, more classic 400 look.
