CineStill 800T Test Run
A quick note on the first roll of CineStill 800T run through my camera. The results showed well for interior shots, while some frames exposed outdoors at dusk had a blue cast that permeated the highlights. Scanning negative film means that eliminating the blue cast from most of the frame is fairly easy, but the highlights in some areas had a blueish tinge that is tougher to remove. The feared halos due to the lack of an anti-halation layer were not much of an issue. Another roll that may have more challenges in this respect is in processing. Unfortunately, the lack of facilities to get C-41 film processed is becoming apparent. Even the local photo store does not have a working lab anymore. Keep the local lab supplied, if you can!
