      But it's not new stock. You aren't supporting anything other than their business of taking already existing products and upping the price. They are nothing but a middle-man. If you want to support the film industry, you should see if any local stores are re-spooling and developing ECN-2 process Kodak 250D (what this film is)

      Oh yes, that "local" shop would respools ECN-2 process Kodak 250D, that doesn't exist or cost way more. It's about making film stock more accessible to everyone, while offering something different. You can argue the semantics of "new" or "different" all you want, but you miss the bigger picture.

    It's most certainly another modified film of Kodak. They probably get the film delivered without the remjet now - translated into "not a repackaged motion picture film". It looks very similar to the Kodak Vision3 250D. Which can be had for $5 if you look around. Beats Portra all the way

    • @trulsdirio

      I mean they might pretty much get all their film that way now. They have had their own edge markings done by Kodak for a while, so it would be strange if that would not go in hand with Kodak just omitting the remjet application as well.

Either to have back ups before the digital age (I used to send duplicates to the Image Libraries that I sold to:through way back when) , to increase contrast and saturation and to change tonality etc by copying, say Ektachrome onto Velvia.

    I naturally assumed this was 250D with the remjet removed. The higher ISO rating would be consistent with 800T, which is 500T. It does vaguely have a look of 250D.... did you have to cancel cyan out of the shadows when scanning? Nice film regardless.

    So you ran into my old coworker Mike, in San Pedro. Did he tell you he was a photographer? I can totally see him yelling jokes at you. When we were out shooting jobs, people would ask us to take their photo. He would always reply: " Sorry, I didn't bring my ugly filter."
    Good that you and some young folks are shooting film still. Personally, after all these years, I love digital. Having worked in color labs processing and color correcting a variety of films, the look of the film you tried is like nails on a blackboard - I spent too much time trying to correct issues with off brand film. As you said, the look is neat, but not on everything. Keep up experimenting! That's the fun part.

    It isn't 250D with the remjet removed, but it is 250D without remjet. They've gotten big enough to pay Kodak to deliver the film to them without applying the remjet at all. Hence the ambigous language on the website. Still 250D though :-) Which is good, cause it's a really nice film!
    Hopefully it will also result in better quality film with less scratches and such.

    400D’s colors look like 800T‘s when you shoot that in daylight with an 85 filter. CineStill are weirdly vague about the origin of the film. I don’t think it’s a new emulsion. They never said it’s a new emulsion. And it wouldn’t make sense either. Why would that look so much like 800T with an 85 filter then. The Vision3 films all have very similar looks to each other.
    And it’s also incredibly hard to make a new color negative emulsion. To make it look this much like C41 processed Vision3 would mean they’d did a whole lot of reverse engineering.
    Also you have to note somewhere in your videos or your description how the negs were scanned. 50% of the look of color neg film is display prep and if you don’t say that we’re to able to meaningfully evaluate the look of a film. It’s important to know what scanner was used, with that settings if there were any that might strongly influence the look and what else was done to the pictures.

    This video took me at least a half hour to watch, I kept stopping playback on each photograph just to look at this place and your beautiful compositions. This is my favorite style of photography right now. What do you call it? Street landscape? I love it. The color pallet of this film seems to really vibe with the very unique and warm light that we have anywhere in California near our coast. It also reminds me of very faded Kodachrome slides my Dad took, probably when he was around your age. But for me, this one is all about the photos that you’ve made in the end.✌️

    I think is obiviously 250D with remjet pre-removed(or never applied) by kodak. Using c41 process will not get the most out of these motion picture film since c41 is using cd-4 instead of the cd-3 in ecn2 chemical, thus giving colors different to the original 250D. It will also screw up the balance in c41 chemical and affect the color of other films processed in later batches(according to the tests done by one of my local lab). People should push labs around the world to do ecn-2 process so that we can shoot cheap kodak vision3 motion picture films. I've shot loads of 250D in the past 6 months and was extremely happy with the result, basically a portra pro version with more strict requirement of light control.

      Ok. I'll bite. I don't believe that processing this film will screw up chemicals. I work at a lab and when this starts showing up in masse, I'll run many control strips to see if there is any visible difference. I doubt we'll see it. Especially with proper replenishment you are replacing a large amount of developer in short order. 40ml/roll if memory serves and my machine runs 7x35mm per rack.
      We already process a lot of 50D and 800T. Especially last month with the Color film shortage. There was a time a good 40% of our developed film was 50D or 800T and we didn't see any densitometry shifts on our control strips. Nothing outside the margin of error, or something that couldn't be explained by another process issue, which we are constantly fine tuning.

      @@GregoryVeizades With proper relenishment and constant check of control strips sure it will not be a huge enough difference to be visible to customer side, but realistically not all labs are doing those. My point is that processing these motion picture fims in c41 will always be less ideal than ecn2. Unless someone is using those as art fims.
