CineStill 800T

CineStill 800T starts with Kodak Vision3 500T motion picture film. The remjet layer is removed so it can be processed in C-41. That change also creates the red halation around bright lights that has become part of its look.

How it behaves

It is balanced for tungsten light. Night scenes and warm artificial light are its natural territory. In daylight, use an 85 correction filter or expect a cooler cast. Hard point lights can bloom into red halos. The halation comes from the removed remjet layer. It processes in standard C-41.

Questions people ask

Is CineStill 800T good at night?

Yes. It is tungsten balanced and built for night city scenes, neon, concerts, and tungsten lit interiors.

What causes the red halation?

The remjet layer was removed so the film can run in C-41. Bright highlights bloom red where that layer would have controlled them.

Can you shoot CineStill 800T in daylight?

Yes, but it renders blue without a correction filter. Use an 85 correction filter or accept the cooler cast.
