fstoppers: Is CineStill 400D Film the New Natura?


Matt Murray at the fstoppers photography site writes, Is CineStill 400D Film the New Natura?  Like CineStill 800T, the new CineStill 400D stock comes with a cassette labelled for push processing.  So, as a dusk time shooter, Matt likes a fast film, around EI 1600.  Much like Fujifilm Natura was, when Fujifilm manufactured it.  Sure, you can still buy it as new old stock (NOS).
