Cinestill

For their color negative films, CineStill modifies Eastman Kodak motion picture cinema emulsions, allowing it to be developed with the C-41 process rather than the Eastman Color Negative process. CineStill converts the motion picture cinema film by eliminating the Remjet backing, a separate Anti-halation backing used to protect the film in motion picture cameras. Due to the removal of this anti-halation backing, CineStill Film exhibits a glowing effect on the image in areas with strong overexposure.[1][2]

CineStill's 800Tungsten (short: 800T) is based on Kodak's Vision 3 5219 motion picture cinema film.[3] Beta testing of 800T began in late 2012. Although the Vision 3 5219 film is normally rated for 500 ISO, the conversion to C-41 processing allows the film to be rated at 800 ISO.[4] 800T originally was only available in 135 format, until a medium format 120 format version was released in April 2017.[2]

In a similar manner, CineStill also produces 50Daylight (short: 50D) from Kodak's Vision3 50D 7203 motion picture cinema film.[5] Originally available only in 135 format, medium format 120 film followed in late 2017.[6]

CineStill's bwXX Double-X is Eastman double-x film stock 5222 produced by Eastman Kodak,[7] spooled onto 135 film cartridges by Cinestill and only sold in limited quantities. [8] As of 2021 this film is now available in 120 format.

CineStill offers various film chemistry processes, including Df96 B&W Monobath,[9] Cs41 Color Simplified,[10] Cs6 Creative Slide,[11] and Cs2 Cine Simplified[12] motion picture negative chemistry. Many of these processes can be purchased as a powder or liquid concentrate.
