really good

I used this for a shoot indoors and it had good range and wasn't hard to use and the photos came out really well.

Super sharp with natural colours

I love the very low grain structure and the gentle, soft colours with very natural greens.

good in low light pleasing saturated colours

great for low light actually; I rather like the higher saturation, relatively pleasing on the eye and fairly soft skin tones, it almost gives portraits a modern look which you cannot get with top spec cameras or digital. the depth is interesting; I will get bac to you on that one as I have only done one roll so far. My low rating is mainly based on the behaviour of this film in full light, the highlights are easily blown and the wider dynamic range seems to be only available in lower light or indirectly lit up scenes.

Brilliant!

Love this film. I just wish the UK had better weather to suit it! It is a little expensive so I only use it when absolutely necessary.

Minimal grain and easy to work with the results.

I ordered a roll of this to try out while we're not in the darkness of winter...
At an ISO of 50, the shutter speeds can be slow, and I actually ended up shooting it at 100 instead. Cinestill claim it doesn't need to be processed any differently up to 100, although I did note I used 100 when sending it off to AW for development- I am unsure if they ended up adjusting dev time or not.
The results come out nicely with minimal grain as you'd expect. I scanned using NLP, selecting the Cinestill profile and Cine-D white balance. This gave a slightly cool/green result which I was happy with and only needed minimal adjustments to exposure on some images.
Sadly the last 2 shots were spoilt by light-leaks. Not sure if this was me unloading in bright light or something else - the camera has been fine previously...

Special treat for a summer's day out

I was excited but also a bit daunted to get this in a mystery box and had to think how to attempt to do it justice. In returning to film I've been trying to stick to B&W but it felt like a worthwhile exception, though I was full of trepidation waiting for the results. I needn't have feared: this film seemed to stride with ease from shadows to highlights with gorgeous colour in between and bags of detail. I can feel the sunshine oozing out. Both bright and more subtle colours came out beautifully.
I got a few tiny spots of halation, around reflections off cars, but not distracting and I find them rather charming.
It's understandably not a cheap film but I suspect I may yet get tempted again for a special expedition, as long as I can give my shots the time such a classy film deserves.

Good Solid Film

I’m still quite new to film photography so I’m not certain how good of a judge I am but I enjoyed this film. Like other reviews have mentioned, it does handle sunlight very well but I would recommend using a slower shutter speed/wider aperture if you’re going to be taking photos in the shade. Pictures are high quality and detailed, not very grainy, and the colours look very nice. Not certain if I’d reach for it again but that’s just because I’m still trying to work out what films I like the best. Pretty good film, if a little pricey. (I got it from a mystery box though so I lucked out a bit there).

Great film

Such a good film for a beginner in 120 or for someone more experienced with a beautiful look to it. I love how colours come out and the quality of the details captured in the photos
I have started to shoot on cini film more and more and realy like it.

I also found it stays rolled up nicely in some of my older camers were some other films like to not spool up tightly.

CineStill 40D

As soon as this was in stock I ordered a roll in 120 and 135, as I'm a big fan of their BwXX film. I visited a Tannery that was due for imminent demolition and photographed inside and out using my Hasselblad medium format camera and Distagon 50mm lens. The film copes well under wide lighting conditions, and the colour rendition is excellent.
I would like to use this for portrait/model work in the studio, as I believe it would be similar to Kodak Portrait.
Like most colour film at the present, the price doesn't make it an every day purchase, but certainly worth using if you like trying new emulsions.

My favourite colour film

I think 50D is massively underrated, possibly because of its low ISO. But if you've got enough light available, I'd definitely recommend shooting a roll. The colours, clarity and contrast are lovely, and I am yet to find a colour film which pleases me like 50D does.

A lovely fine film

Great film, with lovely clarity and fine grain. Requires a steady hand, tripod or lots of light to shoot with, but red bloomy highlights look awesome!

Cinestill 50D

I shoot mostly on medium format cameras and this photo was taken on my Mamiya 6. The Cinestill 50D is a nice looking film with lovely vivid colours and I find it good for portraits.

Smooth

I could really get to like this film. I love the way it renders light and texture so smoothly. I generally prefer a bit more saturation in a colour film but the muted tones are really beautiful. It was more tolerant than I expected it to be and quite forgiving of my dubious exposure choices.
I’d like to experiment more with this and discover how to get the best out of it.
The only downside is the price.

Bit pricey but I'll give it another go

Feels a little cool on landscape shots and responds well to good bright days - not so well on overcast days for me as I found it got quite flat. Also seems to respond nicely to warm light toward the golden hours.
Will definitely give it another go and use more selectively.
