Not tried this film. In fact, I've never heard of it previously. I have some 120 Cinestill in the fridge which I need to use to see if tungsten balanced is something I want to use more.
Incidentally, I like the grey train (second last shot). I wish we had something a bit more interesting in the UK....
Yeah it’s actually Kodak Vision3 500, there motion picture stock. If you have CineStill 800 and you are shooting it in the day, it’s likely to have more blue cast than what I shot, even though my understanding is that it’s effectively the same film stock but with the remjet removed.
Yeah that train was cool, I heard it’s not a regularly running train, so to see it was really lucky.
That "teal shadows" look can be attractive in the right circumstances. Back in the day, I had some 81A, 81B and 81C filters to dial out that look when shooting daylight balanced film in tungsten / mixed light source situations. these days, people use tungsten balance film to create that look. I think I first noticed it when watching the first Blade Runner film. Funny how the world spins.
I’ve heard that about Flic in the past, that the quality of the bulk rolls they were procuring were not great and a lot of the materials they were using, like the film canisters were not ideal and caused loads of issues. I haven’t had any issues though yet, and I’ve heard they’ve made a lot of improvements, and they are moving to aluminum canisters too. I’d try them again if it’s been a long time.
will keep that in mind. i've also bought from them a "double shot" camera (half frame) which is not an olympus but a good little camera for a plastic box
Looking great! Still have a roll of 500T laying around that I should try somewhere in the near future.
You definitely should.

Lovely film! The colours are stunning. Great shots too!
Thanks Suzi, it’s definitely a new favourite of mine.
i've got mixed results from flick film (in general, not in particular 500d)
