This was my first experience of this film and I loved it. It really does give a cinematic look but, only when the conditions are right; i.e. in good light, especially backlit subjects. The film was much less successful in overcast conditions so I wouldn't consider it a good general purpose film.

I was lucky enough to have great weather when shooting this film, and the abundance of sunlight resulted in an easy shooting experience. This film renders colours in an amazingly cinematic way, just a touch removed from realism to really elevate scenes. The halation around strong light sources can be good or bad - when used consciously the effect is wonderful, but when incidental it can be unpleasant. Detail seemed well maintained in shadows and highlights. I would use this film again, and would be happy using it for street, landscape, and portrait photography. Just look out for any strong light sources that may cause halation, and avoid or use them consciously.
I love the soft dreamy cinema effect on this riverside photo shoot. I had a specific idea for the shoot, waited for a blazingly bright day and I got some lovely vibrant colours.
Some of the pictures were a touch under developed, with a slight green tinge to those shot in shadow (but then the whole area was green so to be expected!). I scanned the negs and touched them up in photoshop.
I've included two pictures shot in bright sunshine and two in shadow. I loved the fine grain and beautiful effect. I'd definitely buy again for bright sunlit shoots.
Beautifully captured the moment my daughter pretended I didn't exist. Low ISO but didn't seem to be any issues. Took loads of photos of my daughter pretending I didn't exist in the streets of Manchester; dull cloudy skies but good exposure and lovely colours.
An amazing film if you have a specific idea for a photo in mind which will allow you to utilise its unique characteristics. I think it is great for moody, cinematic scenes on an overcast day. Be careful not to underexpose it though as shadows get a strong brown, muddy tint. When photographed in shadow, also the skin tones might get a bit of a greenish-olive tone. When exposed properly it has the unique cinematic quality, fine grain, slight greenish cast and those red halations around strong light sources which are loved/hated by many.
