CineStill 400D

Kodak motion picture stock with the remjet layer removed, so it develops in normal C-41. Daylight balanced, fine grain, warm skin tones.

How it behaves

A great all-around color film, per the notes. Watch for halation around bright lights: that is the missing remjet. The entry describes a fine-grain daylight-balanced color negative with a soft palette, natural saturation, and rich warm skin tones. Bright light sources bloom into CineStill’s signature red halation. It is rateable from EI 200 to 800 without push processing, and pushable up to 3 stops per CineStill. It is designed for still photography in C-41. The anti-static lubricant coating suits motor-driven cameras.
