There is no equivalent to Portra 400NC.

But High Definition 400 is something like Ultra Color 400 (the new name
for Portra 400UC). It's a pretty good film that scans similarly and has
nearly as fine grain. The only problem is that it comes only in 24
exposures.

You might also try a trip to the local Target or Wal-Mart. Kodak now
sells Ultra Color 400 in packages of three (36-exposure) rolls at a
price that's probably lower than your local camera shop.
