xalo Posted November 25, 2014 Share #5 Posted November 25, 2014 Thanks for this dedicated thread! Looks very interesting... Will see if the local lomo shop got some already. I do not recall now where exactly, but the recommandation came up briefly in another thread, followed by a caveat about the cine film dye's comparatively short lifespan. Someone got details or already asked CineStill? Cheers, Alexander Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalArts 99 Posted November 25, 2014 Share #6 Posted November 25, 2014 fwiw, I use this film in 16mm (cat number 8003634.) It's a Vision 3 emulsion (Portra) that does have reduced granularity and for daylight balanced filming. But it has the rem-jet backing which Cinestill is removing. Just be aware that this can cause odd reddish flare off stray light (i.e., halation) as you can see in some of their sample images. fyi, here is the Kodak tech sheet for the film: http://motion.kodak.com/motion/uploadedFiles/Kodak/motion/Products/Camera_Films/Color_Negative/tech_data/TI5203.pdf It's nice to see Cinestill do this for still film photographers. But we're still dependent on Eastman Kodak for the actual products themselves (and of course, Kodak Alaris for selling and distributing the still films.) And so also keep buying lots of Kodak branded film, and voice your opinion about using film with your wallet. The Kodak Vision3/Portra films are the best color negative emulsions in the world, imho.

stephen.w Posted November 26, 2014 Share #7 Posted November 26, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) There was a bit of discussion on this a few weeks ago in this thread (http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/film-forum/337424-looking-good-slow-film.html#post2810017) which may be of some interest.

sblitz Posted November 26, 2014 Share #8 Posted November 26, 2014 How is this different from Portra 160 if I push it one stop -- aside from the red light flare thing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted November 26, 2014 Share #9 Posted November 26, 2014 aside from the red light flare thing? With the tungsten version it is the slight halation effect that gives the film a very special and interesting quality in the right lighting conditions. I assume this version will be similar and more like using an uncoated or single coated lens than having a signature of 'red flare'. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJH Posted November 26, 2014 Share #10 Posted November 26, 2014 The sample images certainly display the Kodak colours of old. I prefer Fuji colour but its a certainty I will buy and shoot some of this stuff next summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblitz Posted November 27, 2014 Share #11 Posted November 27, 2014 The colors do look a lot like portra. Reason why I am wondering why bother. I will probably try it but getting a 50 film to shot there should be some interesting reason to give a run through Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted November 27, 2014 Share #12 Posted November 27, 2014 what intrigues me is the purported ability to manage high contrast situations, which is an acute condition on a bright sunny day in NYC (especially mid-day). If it can do any special in this regard, it would be a good situational film for me . So I bought some to try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted January 1, 2015 Share #14 Posted January 1, 2015 I thought I would share some examples of this new film for those who might be interested in how it renders. The film is considerably warmer than Portra or Fuji and has a really nice cinema feel to it. I could see this film being a good choice for weddings and landscape where speed is not so much of a necessity. I took these from my 50mm DR summicron. First three are from a family day at the Bronx Zoo. (The first is of my wife with the late afternoon sun using the macro range of the lens ) Welcome, dear visitor!

philipus Posted January 1, 2015 Share #16 Posted January 1, 2015 Great shots Adam. Looks like a very fine-grained film, indeed. Who needs the 50 APO? On a side note, I am sad the Kickstarter project for ISO 800T 120-film wasn't successfully funded Shooting MF at EI3200 would have been rather cool.

Sparkassenkunde Posted January 1, 2015 Share #17 Posted January 1, 2015 Thanks for posting the examples, Adam! From what I see, I see no grain at all:eek: I think I will try this film out in spring, when the light gets brighter again. At the moment the 800T is the better choice for the conditions here.

A miller Posted January 1, 2015 Share #18 Posted January 1, 2015 Many thanks, Rick. I figure that the more samples of this film are out there, the better. And the examples shown on the website could be more compelling, IMO. Philip - You are correct that this film has a fine grain. It scans quite well, too. Regarding the kickstarter project, I fretted over the failure of the project as well - for about 5 minutes - and then came to the view that, with the gradual but certain comeback of film, it is just a matter of time before the MF version of both of these films get to market. All the best, Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted January 1, 2015 Share #19 Posted January 1, 2015 Thanks for posting the examples, Adam! From what I see, I see almost no grain at all:eek: I think I will try this film out in spring, when the light gets brighter again. At the moment the 800T is the better choice for the conditions here. Yes, exactly, and I didn't apply any noise reduction in LR, as I typically need to do with film scans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkassenkunde Posted January 1, 2015 Share #20 Posted January 1, 2015 I had to correct myself after looking again attentively - no grain visible for me:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
