Film

These 4 rolls of film arrived today (Monday)

For use in my vintage cameras / vintage lenses.

CineStill BwXX is an emulsion first used in 1959 to shoot movies in Hollywood studios. This black and white 35mm film is now available for UK photographers to create their own unique vision! Films that have included scenes shot on this emulsion include Kill Bill Vol 1, Schindler's List, Casino Royale and Raging Bull - the definition of artistic royalty.


CineStill 50D 35mm is an outstanding film . 50D means that the film has ISO 50 and is colour-balanced for Daylight.

Adapted from Kodak cinema stock, CineStill 50D emulsion boasts the finest grain available in a commercial film. Your reward will be exceptional detail and vivid colours in your photos - the perfect 35mm for delivering stand out images in bright light


I took the CineStill BWxx into Nottingham today to photograph life on the street (including some strangers)

The boxes seem to be floating in the dark (room 😊). I am impressed by your skills in using various films and by your patience in waiting for the pictures to be printed. Do you develop your photos or do you send them to a lab?

[Phil Howcroft]

@corinnec Corinne, I dabbled in black and white film last summer and a friend developed it for me and I then scanned the negs. It was only partially successful . I decided to have another go this summer , the colour film will need to go to a lab

[Corinne C]

@phil_howcroft that’s definitely a photographic adventure you are having 👍🏻

[Mags]

[LManning (Laura)]

[Annie D]

enjoy!

[Christina]

Most of that talk is over my head, but it's a cool interest and I look forward to seeing the results!

[Issi Bannerman]

I was thinking the same as Corrine, so thank you for answering her question. It's certainly a different game compared to digital photography. Fascinating stuff.

[Delboy79]

Look forward to seeing the results.What camera do you use ?

[Boxplayer]

Such a blast from the past.

[Dione Giorgio]

Do you develop your own films? I always took mine to the phographer to do that for me. It must be very interesting. Looking forward so see some results.

[jackie edwards]

Looking forward to seeing the results

[Judith Johnson]

Are they still making film like this? Sounds exciting. I'm looking forward to seeing some excellent shots

[Pat Knowles]

I never knew there was so much to a simple roll of film….didn’t know they even sold it never mind all the different sorts.

[Carole Sandford]

A nostalgic group! Is it expensive?

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback on my 35mm film purchases. I will be putting them in a Pentax ME and Olympus OM20 SLR cameras.

@carole_sandford Ahh good question , the Agfa was £7-00 a roll, the specialist Cinestill BW was £11-00. You pay a premium for colour roll at the moment
