About to shoot my 3rd roll of 400D, was looking thru people i watch and getting more information on the film stock, others experiences, and you knocked it out the park on this one! Love your vids bro, photos are excellent
Got myself some 4 rolls from the crowd found. Still haven't shoot any. Waiting for spring/summer. Here in Finland winters are bleak and days are short so I mostly shoot black and white like hp5 pushed 2 stops.
The film is not new it is Kodak Vision 3 250D 5207/7207. As far as the remjet layer goes they are probably producing it without that layer in the first place. However you can remove that layer before shooting it if you wanted to. You have to run it through a bath, dry it and respool it. Some motion picture labs used to do this. I remember that the cinematographer Gail Tattersall did this a few times as well as having the anti halation layer removed from Kodak Double X 5222/7222 B&W film (cinestills BWXX) and shot it in a camera with a polished pressure plate to cause even more halation. Personally I've only shot one roll of 400D so far and and when the highlights go they really go. Oddly enough I think this is technically reducing the dynamic range of the film so "Dynamic" might not be the best name. Still fun though.
Interesting take. Im surprised to hear so many people say its 250D when Cinestill clearly states that its not. Misleading information like that opens them up to a tremendous amount of legal issues so I doubt they would knowingly mislead the public.
@@wildechap Im not a contrarian so dont take this as argumentative but I have a few 35mm rolls here and it doesn't say anything about it being repackaged motion picture film nor should it be rated at 250. Theres a white box that says coated in the U.S. but thats about it.
@@RobbieMaynardCreates i guess it's not written in every box. It says the film was made for ecn-2 and can still be processed as such. I know it's not much but both 250D and 400D also produce the same results when shot side by side, at either 250 or 400 iso.
@@wildechap I have shot a few rolls of 250D but didnt compare them. Ill have to look into it. I also shot them in different seasons and conditions so my eye may not be as keen.
dude I tried the 120 400D for the first time like 2 weeks ago with zero expectations and felt the exact same way about it! so stoked to see someone else be wowed by this film
I've got a couple of rolls of 400d shot but not developed yet, one in 6x9 and one in 35mm. The results I've seen from folks like you has me pretty excited to see what I get out of mine when I have some time to develop and scan em' its definitely something I'll be shooting more often this summer. well maybe. I've got quite the backlog to work through
Hey Robbie! Another great video man, love your content! I was very surprised by my results when I first shot 400D as well, definitely one of my go-to options nowadays.
"entirely brand-new emulsion".... just no. Did shoot a lot of 800T... Halations are fine, from time to time, but not in every single shot. Portra400 here in Europe isn't more expensive, and I would prefer Portra anytime over any Cinestill film... There are not a lot of companies which can coat emulsions by themself, Cinestill is def not around these... Cinestill is ok, and I respect what they are doing for film photography in general, but there is so much jumping on a strange hypetrain.... nevertheless, keep up the great work Robbie! thx!
Europe got Portra 400 for cheap?? Damn, you guys are lucky. As for the new emulsion, I can only go by what Cinestill tells us and they say its a new emulsion.
Great vidio 🙌🏾
Awesome shots as always Robbie!
Thanks a lot!

Just got my first 1/8 Pro Mist filter. Still figuring out where I like to use it.
I use it on my digital camera but I wanted a little extra flare lol
The thing is its not a new emulsion. Its Vision 3 250D that has had its remjet removed .
That seems to be a common opinion but Cinestill's website says its a new emulsion
I was like ,” please get that plane in the composition “ and I’m glad you did it . Beautiful photograph.

Smart play! I shot a few rolls on a cold, snowy day and the images didn't really work

It's probably ok, since Kodak produces this "for" them.
09:27 That shot is gorgeous!
Thank you :)
Wow Circuit City brings back memories. They had a huge one here in Framingham when I came to the US .
Lets get it! Got my boy robbie on the tube, coffee and joint in hand, day cant be better
This is a blessed comment.
haha these are the comments Im here for
Would you recommend the Interprid 4x5 or even the 5x7 for a newbie ? Thx
New to photography? Definitely not. If you want to though, learn as much as you can :)
I’ve got that f2 35mm lens too, so good
Will definitely pick this up because of this. Taking a road trip in April and I will throw some in the bag. You da man Robbie
Hell yeah! Let me know if you come to New England my friend!
The pic at 9:30 minute mark is amazing (9:30 )
Abso freaking incredible video and images homie, love your vids
Thank you George! Always appreciate the kind words
Not a new emulsion, it"s Vision3 250D.
Cinestill's website says its an entirely new emulsion
@@RobbieMaynardCreates i think on the packaging on the inside of the box, there is a paragraph, read that. And it is in fact 250D
