For our first release of the summer — yes we still have two more “+” announcements coming (no slide film, sorry) — we are excited to share these new color negative conversion tools and the philosophy and science behind SpectraCOLOR™ with our film community! Our goal with the CS Negative+ Convert Tools was to keep it simple and FREE while maximizing compatibility, consistency, and fidelity. And we’ve already made some major updates based on valuable user feedback (get the latest version 1.2 now), including new Color Models and Tools optimized for basic white light sources like video lights and light boxes/panels.

Developed by CineStill over the past 3 years, SpectraCOLOR™ is the next big step in closing the gap between analog beauty and digital precision. Giving you not just a “close-enough” reinterpretation, but the most accurate representation of your film to work with. Using SpectraCOLOR™-enhanced film conversion tools will ensure that you get what your film was designed for, and enjoy a simpler conversion experience. 

At CineStill, we believe the next innovations will come from leveraging both the technical advancements of digital photography along with true analog color science to enrich and complement the timeless beauty of film. As digital sensors continue to get better, it only allows us to find even more ways to appreciate celluloid.

Building on the successful 2023 launch of the compact SilverBase film processor for 35mm and 120 B&W film, JOBO is proud to introduce the SilverBase Expert Sheet Film Processor, the perfect choice for the B&W sheet film shooter seeking a more compact, minimalist alternative to the larger and more expensive CPP-3 color processor.

If you’ve ever processed your own film at home, you might have come across water spots, white-ish residues sitting on the surface of the film. It can be incredibly frustrating, especially after taking so much care to process the film properly. In this blog post we'll go over some tips and tricks on how to clean any existing water spots on your film and prevent them in the first place. 

Since 2013, CineStill film stocks have delivered advanced motion picture technology to the modern analog stills photographer. They’ve graced the covers of magazines, albums, billboards, and earned their way into the camera bags of film shooters the world over. For those new to the family, here’s a quick overview of what makes our film stocks special, with examples of how they can be used by photographers you should really be following.

With summer around the corner for many of us, we are reducing the prices of our daylight-balanced 120 film by 15% to give you more creative opportunities to use these vibrant color films in more situations.

These new prices will be for CineStill 400Dynamic and 50Daylight 120 medium format films. We have implemented this price reduction, effective immediately, and we expect it to be mirrored across all our affiliated film stores, camera shops, and labs worldwide as they get new inventory. This revised pricing reflects our goal to help make our high quality films more available and accessible to the analog photography community around the world.

We're excited to announce the arrival of the long-anticipated CineStill 400Dynamic 4x5 color film! Thanks to the support from the analog community, the dream of introducing this emulsion in 4x5 is now a reality. This is the first-ever production run of 400D 4x5, and we plan to make it a mainstay in our film lineup. We've heard your interest in having a new color film for large format photographers and we look forward to you experiencing it!
