CineStill film is the amazing technology of motion picture film, prepped and rolled for still photography.

CineStill 800Tungsten is a unique film for still photographers. This film is great when rated ISO 200-2000 and can be pushed over 3000! This 800 speed tungsten balanced color negative film is prepared from the same motion picture material used by top cinematographers around the world. This film is designed for difficult low light tungsten situations and may be used in many different lighting situations to achieve a variety of looks.

The new and improved proprietary "Premoval" process makes motion picture film safe to process in standard C-41 photo lab chemicals or at home. This emulsion is optimized for a hybrid workflow, ideal for scanning, and when processed in C-41 chemistry it can be optically printed on RA-4 paper. Treat this film as a high speed 800 ISO film when processing in C-41 and push process whenever needed up to 3200 ISO.

Recommended ISO and acceptable exposure for push processing:

ISO 800 - No push - EI 200-1600
ISO 1250 - 1 stop push - EI 800-2000
ISO 1600 - 2 stop push - EI 1250-3200
ISO 3200 - 3 stop push - EI 1600-3200 (added contrast)

Features

  • Color Balanced Tungsten color negative motion picture film stock for use as still photography film
  • Factory spooled with self-adhesive labels inside
  • Remjet backing free, resulting in a slight halation effect
  • Designed for difficult low light tungsten situations
  • When shot in daylight, an 85B filter is recommended and shooting the film at 500 ISO
  • Acceptable for push processing up to 3200 ISO
  • Recommended to process C-41 without worrying about remjet
  • DX Coded

Expiration: Unexposed CineStill film has a 1 year shelf life, and should be stored in the fridge and shot within 6 months of purchase to achieve optimal results. Exposed film should be processed promptly in C-41 chemicals to preserve latent image latitude and color fidelity. All current productions of CineStill have expiration dates for one year from manufacture date on the packaging. If you have Alpha production film (no retail box), it should be used before 2018.

Note: This film was designed to be processed in ECN-2 Chemicals and may still be processed in it's native chemistry, resulting in a 500 ISO pulled negative with lower gamma. Test results show consistent in standard C-41 machine processing when compared with ECN-2 motion picture lab processing performed by professional labs. Long term archival stability has not been tested past 4 years. Expectations for archival longevity should be somewhere between Kodachrome and most C-41 films but there are no guarantees.
