The only thing i did to this scan is spot removal and maybe a little saturation increase. The light was very good though. I have 10 rolls of Cinestill 50 on order and looking forward to trying that out.
Here's an image made on the newly-released CineStill 400Dynamic, in 35mm. Please view, at full-size. The exif data is in the file, via Meta 35. It seems like it holds the shadow detail fairly well. I suspect I will continue use Portra 400 when I need a 400 speed negative/print film, though. Any thoughts?
Some random thoughts :
It is highly unlikely that outside of a fairly small film using community anybody would look at an (not "the") image and ask "what kind of film this image was taken on?".
The actual medium does not matter in a sense that it is generally not true that images taken on medium X will always be superior to images taken on medium Y, unless the said images were taken for the purpose of comparison of mediums' [physical] properties or advertisement of medium's properties. Usage of IR sensitive films almost want me to make an exception, but in reality it does not [qualify to make such exception]...
"Sinestill this, sinestill that"... What is wrong with using Portra or Ektar or any other color film that was specifically designed for still color photography?
Some people choose to pay more for what appears to be less (no anti-halation layer, sub optimal processing)
