Is it me or does Fuji Pro 400H scan really badly and grainy......must be me....so many people love this film.....

scans well for me ... how are you doing it?

if you let the scanner do it as negative, well ... you're on your own ... you using a drum scanner? What is your iris size?

If you're getting grainy shots, you're severely underexposing. Try exposing at iso 200-250, for the shadows. 400H is perfectly capable of a clean, grain free 8x10 when handled correctly.

I have scanned a lot of this film recently for clients.
Try opening your aperture over 10um (microns). I usually set my Howtek 7500 to 10um or 15um depending on the size.
Any smaller and the grain becomes unmanageable. Kami also helps.
Hope that helps.
