CineStill Film 800T - Tungsten 135-36

The CineStill Film 800T - Tungsten 135-36 is a color negative motion picture emulsion designed for 35mm film photography. The film comes in a 35mm film format with 36 exposures per roll, providing ample opportunities for shooting various scenes and subjects.

Like other CineStill films, this one is also designed to be processed using the C-41 process in most standard photo labs. It does not have a Remjet backing, making it easier to process. The film produces a slight halation effect in images, creating a unique and atmospheric quality to the photos. It is specifically balanced for tungsten lighting situations, making it ideal for capturing scenes in difficult low-light environments.

This film can be push processed up to 3200 ISO, providing flexibility in settings with challenging lighting conditions. It comes factory spooled, ready to be loaded into your 35mm film camera and used right away.

CineStill Film 800T - Tungsten 135-36 is a versatile film option for 35mm film photographers. Its tungsten balance, ability for push processing, and unique halation effect make it suitable for capturing creative and moody images in low-light situations.

Product Features in Detail

Motion picture film for still photographers!
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!

Recommended acceptable exposure for push processing:
   No push - EI 200-1000
   1 stop push - EI 800-2000
   2 stop push - EI 1250-3200
   3 stop push - EI 1600-3200 (added contrast)   
 

Expiration: The new boxed CineStill film has an extended shelf life with less noticeable artifacts after expiration, but should be stored in the fridge and shot within 6 months of purchase to achieve optimal results. Exposed film should be processed promptly in C-41 chemistry to preserve latent image latitude and color fidelity. All current productions of CineStill have expiration dates for two years from manufacture date on the box. If you have earlier productions of 800T (no retail box) or your film does not have an expiration date, it is likely age fogged.

Note: This emulsion was designed originally requiring ECN-2 motion picture processing and may still be processed using ALL of those steps or with the CineStill Cs2 "Cine Simplified" kit, resulting in a pulled contrast negative with lower gamma not suitable for darkroom printing. Although there is no remjet adhesive layer to contaminate and exhaust the chemicals, C-41 processing produces greater density and gamma which is more favorable for still photography workflows. Tests show favorable results in standard C-41 processing compared to ECN-2 motion picture lab processing performed by professional labs. Long term archival stability has not been tested past 9 years. Expectations for archival longevity should be somewhere between Kodachrome and most C-41 films. We will replace any roll that shows defect. We do not accept any liability beyond replacement of original film purchased.

Storage and handling: Load and unload film in subdued light. Store unexposed film in a refrigerator at 13°C (55°F) or lower in the original sealed package. To avoid moisture condensation on film that has been refrigerated, allow the film to warm up to room temperature before opening the package. Process film as soon as possible after exposure. Protect processed film from strong light, and store it in a cool, dry place.
