Amber T800

A tungsten-balanced 800-speed film, almost certainly a rebadged motion picture stock. Built for artificial light. Fast and moody.

How it behaves

Shoot it under tungsten or at night for the intended look. In daylight it runs very blue unless you filter it, and push it and the grain gets dramatic. The entry describes respooled tungsten-balanced motion picture film with the remjet removed for safe C-41 lab processing. Bright highlights get the classic red and orange halation glow. It is not DX-coded, so use the included DX sticker or set ISO manually. Nominal speed is ISO 800 under tungsten light, and some shooters rate it at EI 400-500. The base emulsion is not publicly documented. It is pushable to ISO 3200 with increased contrast.
