Profile notes
REFLX LAB 400D is a 35mm color negative film sourced from Kodak Vision3 5207 250D motion picture stock, with the rem-jet backing chemically removed to allow standard C-41 processing. The '400D' designation reflects the adjusted box speed recommendation for C-41 development without rem-jet, providing adequate density while maintaining the Vision3 250D emulsion's high contrast, vivid daylight color palette, and wide highlight latitude. Community reviews consistently praise the film's punchy contrast and tonal range from highlights to shadows in daylight, while noting that the first 1–2 frames are prone to light piping—a characteristic of polyester-based respools. Distinct from the 320D (AHU variant) in that 400D uses the earlier rem-jet-free respool method.
