Accurate color. Fine grain. 400 speed gives you more latitude than 100 speed.

I shot most of this roll indoors with a flash or outside under overcast skies. The few shots that were taken in sunlight were overexposed, but I have found that to be the case with about every film that I've shot. Bright sunny days are the pits for shooting film. In fact, last spring the weather seemed to always be bright and sunny during my days off. Normally thats good but I wanted some overcast days for picture taking.

I shot the NPH at 400 ASA but I may try the next roll at 320 to get greater color saturation. The colors are right on. No wild reds or pinks. Great skin tones on Caucasions. I ordered eight rolls of various film from B&H photo. The Fuji NPH cost me $3.69 per roll for 36 exposures. I'm going to give a roll of NPH to my mother-in-law for her Pentax point and shoot. She always uses "consumer" film and the flesh tones are too red and ruddy.
Spend a little more for better film (Reala or NPH), use a tripod, and pay for good film processing. Try the lustre (matte) finish. Your photos will look better. No doubt.

Great film for 35mm wedding shots. I used this film on a wedding last week and the results were superb, very fine grain gave excellent enlargements.

My camera always rewinds the leader in!

Great for outdoor and indoor shoots with fine grain. Can overexpose sometimes.

Pleasing contrast with excellent skin tones. I rate it at 250.

Neutral colors.

Very fine grain.

Handles flash well.

Cost is high, compared to the more-commonly available consumer-grade 400-speed films. But, the better results are worth it.

My workhorse color print film. People look great, colors look accurate, and enlargements look fantastic. Rate it at 250 (or 320 if you're cautious). It even works great at 400 in a p&s camera.

Not much is truly "similar." I haven't tried Kodak Portra, simply because I'm so satisfied with NPH.

I've used lots of other 400-speed print films, though, and don't regard them as "similar."

works every time. Winds well when I install it in camera. No bad pictures caused by film quality

None

I use this film for the price and performance. It is available at the drug store. It is fast enough for my zoom lense. It works well using flash photography at parties. It also reflects a good outdoor scene.

+Handles contrast well
+Colours are a bit more saturated than the average portraiture film
+The speed of the film makes it very versatile

This is my only film for portraiture/weddings/schools/etc.
I rate it at ISO 400 and get good results - for flash only the film does well with a bit of overexposure(so rating it lower - a stop or so) is good.
Most portraiture jobs do not require enlargements beyond 8x10 in - and the prints made from 35mm film in this size are superb.
I've used some of the Kodak Portra stuff before, but NPH is a clear winner when I compare them.

best portrait film for indoor shooting

A little grannier than the NPS 160, but not much more noticible.

One of the best 400 film, must always be in your camera bag...

-Excellent grain overall, especially for ASA400 film.
-Beautiful colors
-Great skin tones
-Complimentary to your subjects.

-Not a very versatile film - it has a niche - portraits.

I just shot a vacation on nothing but NPS400 run at 250 and I was impressed overall. The colors were very rich, but not exaggerated. For a 400 film, the grain was impressive.

I learned, however, that this is not an extremely versatile film. It's great for close portrait photography or even outdoor landscapes, but not the two combined. In photos of landscapes with people off to the side (IE: people in the photo, but not the main subject of the photo), the human subjects appear too grainy. I'm probably expecting too much detail out of a 400 film, but this is my complaint. I'll check out NPS 160 for this characteristic next. It will probably will make a better overall outdoor film.

Overall, I am extremely happy with this film and I will definitely keep some of it in my camera bag.

-Superia 400 (more versatile, brighter color, but poor skin tones)

Clean colour without excessive contrast or exageration. Scans well too. Neutral. Makes people look great.

400 ISO film, not more.
Slight hint of red.
If you mix flash+neon then the neon-lit parts come out rather green

My standard film for the last 3 years. Loved it as soon as I saw it. Switched from Reala to NPS as slower film choice because it has same look

Good colour reproduction. Fine grain for its class. Good skin tone

Quite expensive

I have shot four rolls of films including Relea 100, NPH 400, Superia 400 and Supra 400 on the same day, with bright sunlight, indoors and outdoors, using same equipment 28-70mm F2.8 and 70-200mm F2.8 and got the film developed in the same lab.(In fact I have also shoot 160VC but since it was not taken on teh same day and developed in the same lab, I do not give comments here.) Here is my impression : -

As for the grain size, I would recommend Relea 100 which is claimed to be the sharpest film in Fujifilm series. NPH 400 comes the second. Supra and Superia is about the same.

For colour reproduction. NPH is the best for portraiture in giving natural skin tone with Relea comes very closely. NPH 400 renders the facial detail excellently while Relea the second best. In short NPH 400 is a middle contrast while Relea a low contrast film. Supra 400 gives redder colour of skin tone while richer saturation. Superia is acceptable for skin tone with brighter/attractive colours and high contrast wich is very common for consumer film. All films except Superia give very good highlight and shadow details.

IMHO, Superia 400 is the best film for general shooting ( Don't use the MAX 400 which is rubbish film in all aspects such as grain size, colour and sharpness after blowing the final prints to 12R recently). NPH 400 is not a versatile film but the BEST for portraiture especially under overcast condition. Relea 100 has paler colour if you get used to using consumer films.. but as for its name .. very real colour comes out .. I would recommend it for landscape and portraiture under sunlight condition. For the Supra, it is suitable for commercial and fashion where attractive colour is a must.

beautifull skintones

If you don't use it for portraits or other people-oriented photography its not the right film.

This is maybe the best portratuire film thereis.
Its real strength is that you get a very nice and not disturbing grain on evrything thats off-focus.
The people you shoot are so sharpa and grainless, while the unsharp surroundings get that nice grain. Although portraits is not mine specialty I almost made people cry with pictures from this.
Fuji should allways keep producing this film like its now. Its a classic already.

Not the very best here, but it depends on who is helping you.
