Fujifilm Professional launches new black and white film

A new black and white chromogenic film from Fujifilm Professional, Fujicolor Neopan 400CN, is about to be launched.

Fujicolor Neopan 400CN is a fast, fine grain black and white film designed for general use, but particularly the wedding and portrait market. As it is a chromogenic film, the dyes that arise during development are formed in exactly the same way as those in colour negative film. This means that both colour and black and white film can be processed through the same chemistry at the same time.

The film offers an unobtrusive grain level and has a wide exposure latitude which allows the user to select the film speed appropriate to the job without any significant loss in quality and without altering the processing times. It is recommended that the film be rated between ISO 100 and ISO 800 to achieve optimum results. However, regardless of the film speed chosen, standard C41 processing is recommended.

As the film is designed with the needs of the social photographer in mind, it produces excellent highlight and shadow detail giving enhanced contrast for optimum black and white print quality. The film produces superb final results when printed on either black and white or colour paper.

Neopan 400CN will be available as from July 2003 in 35mm and 120 formats.
