    It seems like CS 400d is a kodak vision3 250d without the halation layer, which is a great thing since kodak vision3 is probably the most advanced film stock ever, the stuff cinematographers use to shoot. I just wished that it wasnt priced at 15 dollar a roll.

    • @jw48335
      @jw48335 2 роки тому +3

      My thing about this is, ecn2 development is readily available for 10 bucks a roll, so myself I would prefer to shoot 250D and avoid the halations. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely happy to see this stock available and I did order some. I'd just prefer to keep the halations with 800t :-)

      @URBONED 2 роки тому +5

      If you check out last weeks podcast episode of Analog Talk with Brandon and Brian Wright (the brothers behind cinestill) they mention it being their first original emulsion film. So it is likely in some way using vision3 stock but isn’t just a simple repackaging like their previous stocks and has a unique chemical makeup.

      @@Zetaphotography I don't believe for a heartbeat that's sin cinestill has the R&D capability of creating a new color negative film. Even if they somehow accomplished that, it's still full of halations, which means I would rather shoot 250D. Don't get me wrong, I ordered a whole bunch of it and I am glad to see it on the market.

    Cinestill 400d was my first ever film roll (last year). I fell in love with how warm colors come out as well as the kind of green tint I got out of greyish tones. I will say that I did not like how actual green landscapes look. I don't know how to describe it but scenes with a lot of foliage, cool blues and greens looked kind of drab. Anyway, that's just my experience and I ended up 4:22 I grabbing a second one which I'm excited to use, knowing what to grab and what to avoid.

    YAY! Looking forward to getting mine (and I got the cool JCH 35mm holder too). Also didn't know you were in Portland! I'm out in the forest in Yamhill, and let's just say it's been raining non-stop since October it feels like :P Oh yeah, and snow. If this is 250D it looks like you might be better off shooting at 320 or so as it REALLY handles overexposing (7 stops). Looking at the spec sheet of 250D it should do -3 stops, but the videos I've watched by ADC's say they would only really do -1 and feel comfortable in not introducing too much color in the shadows and increasing grain.
    The good news is that tonality curves are like Portra, but with a much better handling underexposure than Portra. Question for you: Is the base clear on this film? That helps so much for people who do "DSLR scans" as the orange base of regular color film is really hard for even NegLabPro to do correctly and where flatbeds with their special "pass" to read the rebate color still have an advantage.
    Oh, and there is a Lomo film walk thing downtown tomorrow sponsored by Pro Photo Supply I'm going to, so I'll wave in your general vicinity! ;)

    I have 120 and 135 on the way. I wanted to support cinestill in this effort, however I'm not particularly excited about this film. The halatians are just not my thing in daylight. The photos in the video are fantastic:) I think if I was going to shoot a lot of the vision3 stock I would opt for the real thing - i.e. shoot 250d and process in ecn2 since the kits available now are not much more difficult than c41. Even just with Google I see half a dozen Labs that offer ecn2 35mm development for 10 bucks a roll. I do think the potential of 220, and the 4x5 are huge developments here though, and if those are available moving forward I will certainly leverage those!

      @@graincheck A remjet layer is not part of a film's emulsion. So removing it does not create "a new film" overall, even though it's a new product. Inventing new emulsions does not happen unless you have Kodak or Fuji or Ilford expense accounts. And all the rest (look at Adox for an example) are using old formulas.
      We LOVE that these all exist and want to support these efforts, which is remains an entirely different thing from them necessarily being original/new.
