Fueling the Analog Renaissance
CineStill has been delivering advanced cinema film technology to still photographers since 2012 and has established itself as a trusted name for film and home processing supplies. CineStill has experienced astonishing worldwide success and overwhelming appreciation from the international film community.
CineStill works hand-in-hand with current manufacturers to further the production of analog materials needed for film photography. This collaborative approach to manufacturing increases efficiency and sustainability of current resources, resulting in increased stability across the whole analog photography market, from manufacturing to consumption.
CineStill's primary purpose is to fuel the analog film renaissance, by demystifying the photographic process (simplify, educate, inspire, and equip) and securing the continued production and availability of essential analog photography materials and services by increasing current production and providing new analog tools for photographers to shoot more film in more situations.
But for us this is still just the beginning. CineStill continues to release more tools and services to make analog photography more accessible and exciting for all photographers and enthusiasts.
400D Film
Making a New Color Film!
Making a New Color Film!
CineStill 400Dynamic is a fine grain daylight balanced color negative film that delivers a soft color palette with natural saturation and rich, warm skin tones. The film has a wide dynamic range with a base sensitivity of ISO 400, but can be rated from 200 to 800 and pushed up to 3200. This makes the film highly versatile, usable both indoors or in the studio, under virtually any lighting conditions.
400D was specifically designed for still photography to be processed in C-41 chemistry by any photo lab or at home. In addition, it also features a process-surviving anti-static lubricant coating ideal for both manual SLRs and automatic winding cameras. This film continues CineStill’s ongoing tradition of cinematic film emulsions made for still photographers, allowing them to maximize their creativity and produce remarkable images that express who they are as artists.
800T Film
The World's Most Sensitive Color Film!
The World's Most Sensitive Color Film!
CineStill 800Tungsten is a unique color film for still photographers. This 800 speed tungsten balanced color negative film is based on the same gold standard motion picture technology used by top cinematographers around the world. Designed for difficult low light tungsten situations, this flexible film is suitable for use in different lighting situations to achieve a variety of looks.
Our new and improved manufacturing process now extends the shelf life of 800T, with less noticeable artifacts after expiration. This advanced motion picture emulsion is optimized for a hybrid workflow, ideal for scanning, and safe to process in standard C-41 photo lab machines or Cs41 processing at home, but it may also be processed in Cs2 chemistry for low-contrast motion picture negatives. It also produces a complimentary contrast curve for optical printing on RA-4 paper when processed in C-41 chemistry. Treat this film as a high speed 800 ISO film for C-41 processing and push process whenever needed up to 3200 ISO!
50D Film
The Finest Grain Color Negative Film!
The Finest Grain Color Negative Film!
CineStill 50Daylight is the world’s sharpest and finest grain color negative film! Based on the original motion picture emulsion, this film is prepped and rolled for clean and safe standard photo lab processing or Cs41 development at home, but it may also be processed in Cs2 chemistry for low-contrast motion picture negatives. Ideal for shooting in bright light at wide apertures and for producing high resolution, low grain images.
The exposure latitude of this film is beyond anything digital and even most other films can hope to achieve. With 50D you can achieve beautiful results by rating it anywhere between ISO 12-100 without the need for push processing. No matter how you meter, you will see almost no grain, but color, contrast, shadow detail and highlight rendering will be affected by the chosen ISO you meter at. If you expose at a lower ISO you will get warmer images with greater halation in the highlights.
