Cinestill 800T is really what is magical about film photography. You shoot to capture life in a beautiful way that our eyes can't see and this film shows you life in a beautiful way.
I didn’t have the recommended Daylight filter needed for this Tungsten balanced film but I’m pleased with the results nonetheless. ISO 800 and small auto flash worked for me….
I'd seen countless YouTube videos of people trying this film and knew I wanted to give it a go. An order was placed and it turned up a couple of days later to be popped in the fridge.
Several weeks later I finally got around to trying it in London. I was really pleased to see my results mirrored those of many of the examples I'd seen, with quite a few "keepers" from my roll.
Some slightly negative points:
The first 3 shots had very noticeable light-leaks. You could argue they add atmosphere I guess, but in any case, the rest of the roll was fine. Don't shoot anything vital for the first 3 or 4 images!
Exposure: I set my camera to over-expose by half a stop as I'd read it's better to try and expose more for the shadows (highlight recovery in my scans worked well). Even then, I found that 75% of my images needed an exposure boost in Lightroom... so I'd recommend +1 EV if possible. The trouble you'll run into here is even ISO 800 is not that fast in dark environments, and even with an F1.4 lens, I was on the limit of handholding. If you are in a position to use a tripod and shooting static subjects, this is probably a good idea.
I love this film. I did struggle with it in low light without a tripod, so would definitely use one next time.
my favourite 35mm film, it's a bit pricey and maybe too hyped, but I think still worth it. Cold cinematic colours + light hilation = perfect combination. The first few shots are usually with light leaks, but I like it. Despite I heard that it's better to shoot this one at 500iso, I always shoot at 800 and get great results. I wish there would something similar existed at 1600 or 3200 iso.
