Cinestill - Julie Andrews, Goldfinger, vinyl records
This is a shot from my second use of Cinestill 800T film, which is Kodak Eastman 5219 movie film which has been prepared by removing the Rem-Jet and loaded in to standard 135 cartridges.
I shot the roll using a Minolta X300S camera with a Sigma 35-70mm lens, ranging from f2.8 to f8 depending on the light levels using an ISO setting of 800. No filter was used for any shot. Most of the shots were either 1/30th or 1/60th.
I developed the roll at home using a Digibase C41 three stage kit from Firstcall Photographic, a UK supplier who is now also stocking Cinestill film. I used a development time of 4 minutes at 38'c which is slightly extended over the usual C41 times, using my own technique with an old Agfa Rondinax 35U daylight tank.
Scanning of the negatives has been with a Plustek Opticfilm 8100 at 3600dpi.
I have mixed feeling about this second roll, a couple of things the extended push in development probably didn't add to the overall effect. Secondly some questionable quality control in the film production as both rolls have odd red 'ink spots' on a couple of frames.
If you want to try C41 development at home, check out my video for the method I used to develop this roll of Cinestill : www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6e4Kl41OKU&list=UUEPBiLUd1Kl...
