I’m going to need to use bulb mode if I want to use this film to capture street scenes with my Holga 120N.

Really versatile film with creative potential
I really enjoyed shooting Cinestill 800T in medium format. In daylight I rated it at 400 getting sharp and saturated colours. Indoors under artificial light I appreciated the look and the extra stop of light. I'd throughly recommend it and the halation can add really good character under the correct lighting.
It commands the price it does for a reason, it’s a fantastic film for those low light situations. I’ve never had a bad result from this film and always keep a roll on me for when lighting dips, especially if there’s some lights to make use of the halation
This is my 1st time using this film in a 70 year old Rolleicord. I think the results are incredible considering the shots were taken at f3.5 and 1/30th second, hand held. The colours and the fine grain are outstanding

I use Cinestill 800T 120 for my indoor and low light portrait work, and it always comes out looking great. The colours are excellent and the image quality is superb!
Excellent film for portraits and for night-time shots in the city
Cinestill 800T is a great film stock with a unique combination of high saturation and natural skin tones, which lends itself very well to a wide range of subjects. I like using it for portraits in daylight (exposed at EI 500 through a KR12 or 85B filter), and for hand-held night-time shots in the city (exposed at EI 2000 and pushed +2 in development).

Great all rounder
I chose this film due to the higher ISO as I wanted to do some evening photography. I ended up using it during the day also. I didn’t find many issues with blurry images even though it’s a slow film.

Halation for days
120 is sharp with nice signature Cinestill halations. Not sure if it is physically possible to shoot anything but petrol stations with this film, so examples are of a petrol station in Leicestershire shot at 400iso and developed normally.

Halations better at 120
I find the halations at 35mm too distracting but more manageable at 120 6x7!

interesting but challenging
interesting results with and without the recommended filter; if you experiment enough it is possible to use this film in daylight I tried utilising both morning and evening golden and blue hours without the filter and results were mostly keepers.
this film is not for beginners and shines in low light situations, be ready for various halos if you include sources of light or objects that reflect a lot of light including greasy shiny skin! it is an interesting experimental film for underwater photography, if you are looking to enhance reds, and render the sea beautifully azure.

Hope you like halation
When shooting at night this is the go to but only if you like halation. Otherwise you'll hate it. I love the cinematic look but the only downside is the price. If you want a high speed, tungsten balanced film in 120, this is simply the only choice. You have to try it at least once.

Best film stock ever?!
Honestly, this is my go to film stock because you can shoot it at night AND in the day (400iso) it’s such a capable film. I love it
