Cinestill 800T is a tungsten-balanced, color negative film based
off Kodak's Vision3 500T motion picture film stock. In fact, 800T is
Vision3 500T, only chemically treated by Cinestill to remove the remjet
layer, which allows for easy processing in C-41 chemistry at any photo
lab. The film is noted for its high speed, fine grain, excellent
exposure latitude, wonderful tonality, and unique red halo effect that
glows around bright light sources. The tungsten color balance allows
for accurate color reproduction under incandescent or other tungsten
light sources.
The film was introduced by
Cinestill, first in 35mm format in 2012, and in 120 format in 2017.
There have been plans to make it available in 4x5 but as of summer of
2020, that remains merely a hope.

Fuji 6x9 with Film
A Fuji 6x9 rangefinder and just a slice of the delicious 120 film we have in our shop.
Beyond the films we have featured here, we have several other Rollei, Adox, Foma, Kodak, Ilford, and Fuji films. While we will recognize some truth in the narrowing selection of 120 films over the past decade, in other ways, this market has really expanded. We are thinking specifically about Cinestill 800T or Bergger Pancro. We like to think that film is alive enough to believe that when one door closes on one film type, another one will open.
