I'm just going to leave this here.
From Cinestill's website FAQ:
Also from the Cinestill website:
"This film continues CineStill’s ongoing tradition of cinematic film emulsions made for still photographers, allowing them to maximize their creativity and produce remarkable images that express who they are as artists."
It's a public secret by now that it's Vision3 with no remjet applied to it and delivered like that to Cinestill. In their description, the key word is "repackaged". It isn't that. Still the same film though.
I just finished post processing a roll of CineStill 400 D. I metered the first half of the roll at EI 250 and the second half at 400; it did not seem to make a lot of difference. After C-41 processing by Citizens Photo, I used a camera to scan the negatives, and then converted them to positive using Negative Lab Pro. The colors were brighter than I was expecting, and I was not always able to get colors I like, but maybe that's just me.
More results are posted <here>
Anyone got their 4x5 yet? I guess 4x5 is still "in the final stages of being pacakged". Or at least that's what they told me back in March. They must be packaging it sheet by sheet!
My God, absolutely beautiful color. It doesn't matter to me if it is just photoshop or not. I am fully committed to BW darkroom, but stuff like this makes me waver. I still have a 100ft of 50D. If I could make it look like your C41 results using Ecn2 chemicals, I might be convinced to stretch out a bit. This indecision has been plaguing for at least a couple of years, and I hate it.
I got the email too. I'm still bit hesitant since the website says the thinner film base might not work well in Mod54 and Paterson tank. My C41 color processing is with the Mod54...

Maybe because they're cutting down the same large rolls they use to make their other formats into 4x5.
The base being thinner than some 135 films seems like an odd choice for sheet film, but I guess it makes sense in their production. Maybe because they're cutting down the same large rolls they use to make their other formats into 4x5.
I have shot some...It is a noticeably thinner base.
I have my local lab process it, with a notification that it is a thin base film with no remjet.
They have not had a problem processing it, the results are good.
I haven't had any scanned or printed yet.
