If you're looking for a film that offers flattering, accurate skin tones, move on. But if you're after a moody, slightly surreal film-still vibe – think halation, soft contrast, and muted tones – Mira 800 delivers straight out of the camera. It has a cool shift, with a subtle blue-green cast that’s particularly noticeable in shadows and midtones, and wild halation blooms around highlights. It’s a tricky film to expose – the dynamic range isn’t huge, so I’d recommend exposing for the midtones or shadows, though you do risk blowing out the highlights. There’s a softness to the contrast and grain that evokes vintage cinema, especially in mixed lighting. Skin tones may need a bit of correction if you're after naturalism, but for moody night walks, reflections, and atmospheric scenes, Mira 800 offers a distinctive, cinematic look.

With Candido 800 often going out of stock for weeks, this can be a great alternative. Somehow less grainy but with the same strong halation and reds in the highlights. Worth a try if needed.
