Surely people more experience than I will chime in, so don't take my word too seriously, as I may be wrong.
The red to me looks like a light leak.
The blue looks like it could be artifacts from static electricity, but it also almost seems like a drop of liquid (developer, perhaps) that started to spread down.
View attachment 181307 View attachment 181304 View attachment 181305 Usually I do not use any color negative film, but reading about Cinestill800 made me curious, so I decided to try a roll on a short trip to London. Most of the film came out fine, also by dayligh (the deer)t, but a few negatives showed something that looked like a light leak (at the end of the film) and a few some strange blue kind of lightningish effect (at the beginning of the film).
I'm almost sure it was not the camera, as I used it for b/w film before and after this film. Could it be something during development, the x-rays while checking in and out the Eurostar, or something else?
I just did a quick scan of the negatives, so there is some dust annd quality is not so good, but good enough to see what I mean.

Frank

So there is a chance, more of these films have this problem?I forgot to mention that I process my own c-41, regular daylight tank, Tetenal c-41.
Blue lights are definatwly something from before the film sits on the shelf in the store.
My guess; static discharge from high-speed rollers, post remjet removal.

Looks like what shows up in my film.Lightning in a random frame from the Cinestill 800 I tried.I think I had 1-2 frames more with this artifact, I deleted those scans.

Frank just out of interest : Your reported problem with electrical charge should have been an interims problem havn`t it ? What is your experience is it solved meanwhile ?Looks like what shows up in my film.

I just can´t find new infos about this....?
with regards
I never had this problem - but I bought not so much cinestills due to budget
Ok - I understand. Well daylight isn't the real thing to tungsten ballance of cause.I did not use any 35mm cinestill after the first film and the problem did not go awayso it is still there.
I did use 2 120 films and did not like what I saw, but have to sort it out. Looks like you have to be very careful changing the film in daylight.

Well - Patrick Robert James - I like this film very much.Those red bands look like a light leak through the felt light trap, or perhaps a little light piping since there is no more remjet and no anti-halation layer to stop it. Those are kinda important so they are put there for a reason....
Not sure why people buy the film other than for fun. The way they should have done it is leave the remjet on it, and sell the film with processing paid. You shoot the film and send it back to them to develop it in the appropriate chems. That would be a winning solution, and the cost wouldn't be much more at all. Kinda dumb the way it is now. And in the long term, people will stop using it due to problems and there goes your business model.
If you like Natura 1600 I would give you following advice : You shot 20 Natura 1600 per Year ? Perhaps it is just 4/year ?As much as I like CInestill film (used ~10+ rolls on both 500T and 50D), it is just too fragile and the question about long term archival bothers me... so back to Portra.. also trying Natura 1600 for 35mm (yes, I know it's being discontinued, I have a freezer)..
