My new favourite film - shot 2 rolls on holiday to experiment with flash portraits, low light night portraits, daylight portraits and some really great halations, and soft lighting and interesting exposures. Definitely would recommend.

Love the night time capabilities of this film stock and the halations that come with it.

Lovely dreamy 70's/80's tones with beautiful highlights. If you catch a ray of light it really shines. Took me a while to scan and edit in post, perhaps my scanner profiles but regardless, a long time before I got anything that felt right. Expensive experiment but would use again for portraits in good light.

Like this film very much

This is a more advanced film that requires a good experience with light and exposure. if you can get those things right you can get really cool shots in low light with or without flash. sometimes you even get these cool red affects from light sources in your image.

I didn’t do the best with these but it is a good film if you use it properly

I say it's great if you nail the exposure because I didn't! I shot at box speed and the results were underexposed for my liking, so worth exposing +1 in my opinion. The few shots which weren't underexposed were much less flat. The colour palette is cool but rich. I do mostly landscape photography - not sure if I'd use this again for this, but that's personal taste.

Very pleasing grain only 800 speed film I’ve used but set the standard very high. Not for everyone has its quirks and expensive.

I don't use a lot of colour film, other than when I see one I fancy trying.

I liked the Wondies' review and video on this, which made it sound a bit different.

Next thing I knew, I was £36.98 lighter (less postage...) after buying two rolls. So first things first, happy snappers - this ain't cheap.

But was it worth the extra beer tokens..? Part of me says affirmative, as the colours aren't as saturated and warm as some other (and cheaper...) films off the scans.

Yet maybe they were a bit too subdued for your cliched, corny old oh, isn't the blossom pretty this time of year stuff.

So I have a play with the dynamic range to Pinky and Perky things up a bit.

Normally when I do this, it throws a bit more noise in. But this wasn't too bad and the scans didn't have too much of it to start with despite it being an 800 ISO film.

I've still got a roll up my sleeve - well, in a camera - so I'll see how that pans out.

First time back using film and loved using Cinestill 800t for low-light shots. Great around a bonfire or even for shots as dusk begins to set in. For low light shots, I'd use a tripod in future especially if set to automatic shutter. There's something really great about the look of Cinestill that means I'll be using again.

I loved this film stock and the movie vibes that it gave everything. However, probably as it was the first time I'd used this stock, I found that the exposures were harder to get right than with regular film if you wanted the best possible results. This being said, that's completely on me and I loved the feeling of shooting film at night and the aesthetic that this stock gives.

Certainly isn’t the cheapest film around but overall I’d say it’s worth the cost and I’ll be purchasing again for any special occasions as I am pleased with the results of my photos!
Pretty much the whole roll came out clear and I love the tones of colours including with flash.
Reliable film that’s good for winter and evening low light conditions. I am curious now to compare it to portra and candido 800 as I’ve heard these are similar and candido breaks the bank slightly less. But cinestill is definitely a lovely film to use

You sort of have to understand lighting to understand this film, and I dont particularly but what the heck. Who says rules have to be obeyed. I took this out to the mean streets of Wimbledon and just played with it. I am really pleased with the results for a first go. Have a couple more rolls that I will definitely be more mindful about using.
