Is Fujichrome 400 same as Provia 400x?

[ziyanglai]

I got this 35mm E-6 film from either a friend or from eBay a long time ago. It has been sitting in my refrigerator for a long time.. On the canister is says Fujichrome 400 and I'm not aware of any E-6 ISO 400 film except Provia 400. So are they the same thing? Someone kindly explain this to me.

Thanks.

P.S. obviously expired. If I remember correctly the expiration date is 2005.

Look up the DX code.

Use both. Look the DX code next to the barcode on the cassette.

Fuji uses a system of 2 or 3 letters to identify their films. Google Fuji RH which is the code you can see.

It is this one here: http://www.fujifilmusa.com/shared/bin/sensia400.pdf

It is Sensia 400, the amateur version of Provia 400.
Use it at half speed.

Got it. Thanks for all the quick responses!

If you would re-label a film of yours for another market (-segment), would you give the re-labeled one the same DX-code?

Quite possibly, on the assumption that consumers would not know how to interpret a DX code while it might be useful for photofinishers to know what film they were really dealing with. Of course APUG members are not generally typical consumers!

That's how we can tell that Solution VX 200 is Lucky 200. They have the same codes.

Definitely not RXP- that is an older Fuji logo from around the early 90s?

Not necessarily. The Fuji C200 still being made today and on sale on many countries, though not in the US as far as I know, still has much of the same style. The cassette is very similar and actually says "Fujicolor 200".
