+ Versatile ISO 400

+ Pushable to 800

+ Competitive price in Japan

Limites

− Limited distribution — mainly Japan

The Seagull 400 launched on February 24, 2016, alongside the Seagull 100, in response to the Fujifilm Neopan 400's 2013 discontinuation. Harman Technology designed a 'traditional' emulsion (cubic grain vs. T-grain) at a lower price than the Kentmere 400 in the Japanese market — a very targeted strategy.
