I find Cinestill50D for daylight landscape photos thrown away money. You get similar outcome with much cheaper film stocks which can be also pushed better. Where on the other hand Cinestill50D shows its benefits is in daylight shots with reflective surfaces - for example steel or chrome. I recently used it to photography an antique car show with it, and it shows the beautiful red halos around sun-reflected areas. It makes the photos very unique and interesting looking. The same happens with the Cinestill800T film with light sources in the dark which is often mentioned - but I didn't see it mentioned for the 50D film. I found out by accident and mainly chose originally the 50D film for its low ISO on this very sunny bright day. I was lucky here!
The headline photo is the best one. Ideal subject matter for this type of film. Low contrast subject, high contrast film. Perfect match. It's also a pleasing scene by itself.
Just shoot Kodak vision3 5203 50D, and if you do your own developing, in ECN2 developer. No weird halation in the highlights, great colors, controlled contrast, and much cheaper. Very nice results pushed to 100. For your cloudy days, Kodak's 250D might be a wise choice.
Great video. However FYI, when pushing c41 film you add 30seconds for each extra stop. Thus normal development of c41 is 3:15 developer time so a 2 stop push would end up being 4:15 developer time. This is why you are having such strong color shifts.
I've lived in England for a few years and I know the struggle of shooting these low ISO stocks when there's barely any light...that's not an issue around these parts (Portugal), however I'm moving to Ireland in the next few weeks and I'm sure it will pretty much be the same as in England. RIP 😩
@@Goughie The saddest part is that I have two tubs full of 100 and 200 ISO in the fridge, maybe I'll get away with it ahah Definitely come and visit Portugal!
C200 and X-Tra400 are not really daylight films as far as i know. The term daylight is used for cinefilm wich is meant to be shot in daylight conditions. There also would be T (ungsten) film, which is also cinefilm, which is meant to be shot in artificial light scenarios. Cinestill makes such types of film (at least kind of), for example 50D. But Cinestill films are modified, so you can develop them in C41 chemicals. Silbersalz on the other hand produces real cinefilm which can be shot in a regular 135mm camera and they develop the film for you in the "real cinefilm" development process. They are a small company based in Germany.
@@felixsturmair4854 Uhmm I see. Idk if there is a specific definition for that. I saw in a different way. I just get any film with colors balanced to be shot during the day as daylight film. What you described, I would call cinema film for daylight. In that regard, I know that a lot of people buy rolls of Kodak film and put them inside 35mm cartridges, but you do need someone who is able to develop it. I would suggest Kodak Vision 3 250D. It's very pretty. :-)
I can use 50 speed film easily here. I even shoot it at ASA25 to get a little more data. Not a problem at all. But I do live on a sunny place. I wouldn't use it on a cloudy day.

Watching this from the future when Cinestill 400D exists. Curious if that film realized the vision you were asking for at the end.
I’ve shot two rolls of 400D and loved the results!

I never tried cinistill film yet (I bought some 50D & 800t though), also never tried push or pull as well 😂

Hahah! Come and feel my pain again!
I’ve never been to Ireland! Somewhere I must visit! Same with Portugal actually!

@@NunoAlmeidaPhotography I shoot a lot of gold and colourplus! 200iso is perfectly fine!
Daylight film at a reasonable speed? Have you tried Silbersalz?
Not yet! Definitely on the list of films I’d like to try!
never heard of this, but Fujifilm C200 and X-Tra 400 are my favorite ones for what you said. Just a shame it's getting so hard to find :-(
