CineStill Rocks! - Bret Michaels on 800T by Fabio Ventura

Posted by CineStill on Jul 09, 2013

"I have photographed Rock concerts on film for while now, and no other 35mm color film I have used comes close in latitude and tonality. I have used Portra 400 & 800, as well as fujifilm Superia 1600. Cinestill wins every time."

Synchronized film speed exposure test - Fujifilm Pro400H | Fujifilm Superia 800 | Kodak Portra 800 | CineStill 800Tungsten

Posted by CineStill on Jun 19, 2013

We wanted to do a real world test of the best ISO rating of CineStill in Tungsten light. So we built a rig that synchronized 4 Nikon cameras with 50mm lenses on them, in order to test 4 great film stocks rated at different ISO's. Though CineStill is natively an EI500 film, we expected it to to prove comparable to an ISO800 film in low light. As a low end control we also threw in a roll of...

Playing around with processing CineStill in black and white chemistry. Apparently you can rate it at ISO 400 and use similar processing times to TRI-X and get really great results! Let us know how your results come out.

Beta test exposure bracketing 500Tungsten

Posted by CineStill on Dec 02, 2012

Mixed tungsten and gloomy window light, general in camera meter. Full stop bracketing. No push processing in standard C-41 machine. Scanned on a Fuji Frontier SP2500 w/ minor correction.

100%crop from the same scene so you can see how exposure effects grain.

Very cool overcast light on a rainy day in L.A. from EI 100-6400 no push, no filter, ugly image of boring building (pretty much as bad as it...

Beta test of 500T & P800 in tungsten light

Posted by CineStill on Nov 28, 2012

This is our fist side by side analysis once we perfected Premoval. CineStill 500Tungsten xPro C41 alongside Portra 800 normal processing, straight scan, 100%. The original 500T in ECN2 chemicals had bit more pronounced shadow grain than the CineStill in C-41, but nearly identical latitude and color balance.
