CineStill 50D is a daylight-balance colour negative film. Made from original Kodak 50D motion picture film. Its 50 ISO emulsion is said to be the “world’s finest grain film”. It has excellent highlight latitude and sharpness. Another feature is the accurate colour rendition. If you scan your film, this is an ideal emulsion.

The main aim of CineStill is to provide still photographers with access to the same emulsions as cinematographers. Simply put, they hack motion picture film stock. As a result, you can shoot it and process it like normal 35mm C41 negative film.

CineStill 50D is made from a fresh stock of Kodak motion picture film. The team at Cinestill prepare and roll it for clean and safe C-41 development. Their proprietary “premoval” process is the reason the motion picture film is safe to process in standard C-41 photo lab chemicals. Or even at home. The original film is made to process in ECN-2 chemicals, and you can still use this process with CineStill 50.

Worth a note, the long-term archival stability tests have not gone past 3 years. Archival longevity should be somewhere between Kodachrome and most C-41 films. However, there are no guarantees.

<h5>35mm and 120</h5>
CineStill 50 Daylight is now available in canisters with DX codes. It is available in 35mm and 120. Also worth a look is the Cinestill 800, a tungsten balanced film. Altogether, two very unique films.
