Whoever makes this film for you has got it on the spot !! The colors are rich and the latitude seems to be nice and wide. I want to get some of the 120 and shoot it with my Noblex panorama and other medium format cameras. I'm really impressed. I'm VERY interested in the 220 size you're working on too !!!
Looking at its image results, most people immediately jump to the conclusion that it is Vision 3 250D stripped of its remjet and repackaged by Cinestill. Not a hard leap, as that is exactly what Cinestill has done in the past with its other color film. Then Cinestill comes out with the statement that 400D is not 250D stripped, but a whole new film, and offers no more insight into the matter. The film is obviously intended to have a remjet anti-halation and it does not (it "blooms exactly like 800T), so is it a film from another unidentified supplier? It's not like the world has more than two or three options. Is it a non-Kodak movie film stripped of its remjet? Is it Vision 3 250D delivered by Kodak without its remjet, this not "stripped" by Cinestill? Is it new film manufactured by Cinestill as it implies? (That one is easy. Certainly not, as Cinestill does not manufacture most of what it sells, and certainly has no technical capacity to coat film.) So, why all of the mystery from Cinestill? Maybe its just to ramp up on-line chatter as an alternative to an advertising budget. Cinestill claims that 400D is specifically designed for C-41 processing, but they made the same claim for 800T until until the world called "bullshit". If you think Kodak is making one-off runs of 250D master rolls for Cinestill with a modified color balance to optimize C-41 processing, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn you'll want to buy. So why the pointless mystery? Well, we're talking about it aren't we?
Its 250D without remjet, special order from Kodak. Of course it scans good and overexposes well Vision 3 was designed for that. I personally will never shoot any Cinestill. Vision 3 looks like shit without its anti-halation layer. There's a reason to why its on there.
Nice! Working on a RU-vid video from a 3 day trip along the Oregon coast using only CineStill 400D with a Hasselblad 500c/m! Currently developing them and loving the results! So excited to share and thank you for making this happen!
hi Alex, we are aware of other films that use similar descriptors as us, but they are not all the same.The process that went into creating 400D is different from anything else on the market. You can read a little more about that here: help.cinestillfilm.com/hc/en-us/articles/5077764900877-What-film-is-400D-based-on-
6:39 ... no, guys, like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GpPEKdJjcEQ.html I admit this technique won't help with the Leica's accursed "rapid not-loading" system (which always works perfectly except when it really counts) but it would help with the Nikon...
