This film has been amazing for shooting concerts. We've loved the color tones and how it captures such a raw, human-like, nostalgic feel. This has become my go-to for concert & tour photo.

One of the most unique modern color films. I love the tungsten balance and halation it produces. Overhyped? Maybe, but there?s a reason it?s almost always out of stock.

This is my first role. Have not shot it yet. Their Instagram feed looks great!

This stuff flies off the shelves for a good reason! The moodiness, and color of this film is super special, and I will definitely be shooting with it for a long time!

Everything as stated. This is my first time using this product, so I am excited to see how the results come out, but I've heard great things about it.

I love using Cinestill film. This was actually my first time using it and it surpassed my expectations. The tonality, contrast, saturation, it’s all perfectly cinematic. It works exceptionally well indoors with artificial light and at night.

I used this film for a music gig with tons of colorful lights and the prints turned out incredibly colorful with beautiful contrast. Recommend for low-light.

For starters, there are a few idiots who have said that this is basically Portra film. This is incorrect, as Portra is a daylight-balanced film, and this is tungsten-balanced. This is Kodak 35mm movie film that has been cut and packed into 135 cartridges, but because it is not pre-exposed with frame indices and bar codes, it will not work with automated processing and the frames will not be indexed. The Keep in mind that tungsten means it was designed to work in conjunction with incandescent cinema lighting, not mercury, sodium, fluorescent, and other incandescent white balances, so don't expect consistent results if you aren't familiar with the type of lighting you're using. Electronic flash will look too blue, and you probably won't need flash anyway, but it works well with clear or amber-coated flashbulbs. I've gotten exceptional results at night without flash, shooting at 6400 ISO. Be aware that because the remjet layer is gone, you will see halos around bright spots, so use them to your advantage. When in doubt, it is better to underexpose than to overexpose this film. The purpose of this film is not to make your photographs look like movie stills, but to create unique effects and give you more flexibility when shooting in low-light situations. I would say this is the best high-speed tungsten film currently in production.

This is, essentially, Portra 800. During production, Kodak adds the RemJet backing to turn it into Vision3 500T, and this removes it later. The sprocket holes are different, but otherwise it's substantially the same in most respects as the more mainstream product - however, the addition and removal adds a bit more punch to the colors and leads it to blow highlights a bit more easily, and this makes it more fun to shoot - if you need to get the shot, head to Portra, though. Also, it's the canister is not DX coded. It's not a big deal, just a twiddle of a few knobs and everything is set properly, but something to note if you have one of the cameras that relies on DX coding.

I love using Cinestill film. This was actually my first time using it and it surpassed my expectations. The tonality, contrast, saturation, it’s all perfectly cinematic. It works exceptionally well indoors with artificial light and at night.
Be captivated by the unique capabilities of the CineStill Xpro C-41 800Tungsten 35mm Color Negative Film, offering 36 exposures. Unlike the commonly mistaken Portra film, this product is tungsten-balanced, specifically designed to work in harmony with incandescent cinema lighting. This makes it an ideal choice for those seeking to capture stunning images in low-light situations.
This high-speed tungsten film is essentially Kodak 35mm movie film that has been meticulously cut and packed into 135 cartridges. However, it's important to note that it does not come pre-exposed with frame indices and bar codes. This means it's not compatible with automated processing, and the frames will not be indexed.
The CineStill Xpro C-41 800Tungsten 35mm Color Negative Film is designed to provide unique effects and exceptional results, particularly when shooting at 6400 ISO at night without flash. However, it's worth noting that electronic flash may appear too blue, and the film works best with clear or amber-coated flashbulbs.
One of the standout features of this film is the absence of the remjet layer, which results in distinctive halos around bright spots. This can be used creatively to add an artistic touch to your photographs. For optimal results, it's recommended to underexpose rather than overexpose this film.
In conclusion, the CineStill Xpro C-41 800Tungsten 35mm Color Negative Film is a versatile tool for photographers looking to explore new creative avenues and push the boundaries of low-light photography.
