CineStill 800T

Base film stock: Kodak Vision 3 5219 (per cinestillfilm.com). Note that CineStill 800T is not a simple respooling. The anti-halation remjet layer has been removed to make this film compatable with C41 color film processing.

Observations: Although I don’t shoot too much color film, I have to admit that CineStill 800T intrigues me. My most recent experience with it was on a trip to Southern California. One night during a stay in Santa Monica, I got out with a roll to see what I could do with this film. I knew its tendency to halate around bright lights, so I looked for opportunities to put this to good creative use. I especially sought out red neon lights. CineStill 800T did not disappoint me in that regard. All in all, this is a really fun film to use especially for nighttime street photography.
