Product Description

120 format color negative, boasted to be the worlds finest grainfilm!CineStill 50D is an ISO 50/18speed daylight balanced (5500K) motion picture emulsion. Technology borrowed from Hollywood’s wunderkind, Kodak 50D, prepped and rolled for safe C-41 standard development as an ISO 50film.

Our new and improved manufacturing process now extends the shelf life, with less noticeable artifacts afterexpiration! The same advanced motion picture emulsion, safe to process in standard C-41 photo lab machinesor at home! This emulsion is optimized for a hybrid workflow, ideal for scanning, and produces a complementary contrast curve foroptical printing on RA-4 paperwhen processed in C-41 chemistry. Treat this film as a50ISO film when processing in C-41 and push process whenever needed.

Expiration: The new boxedCineStill film has an extended shelf life, and should be stored in the fridge andshot within 6 months of purchase to achieve optimal results. Exposed film should be processed promptly in C-41 chemicals to preservelatent imagelatitudeand color fidelity.All current productions of CineStill haveexpiration dates for twoyears from the manufacture date on the box. If you have earlierproductionsof 50D(no retail box), it should be tested for base fog before use.

Note: This emulsionwas originallyrequired processing inECN-2 motion picture processing and may still be processedusing ALL of those steps, resulting in a pulled negative with lower gammanot suitable for darkroom printing.Although there is no remjet adhesive layer tocontaminate and exhaust the chemicals, skipping the additionalaccelerantpre-bath will under-develop the film when just usingthe ECN-2 developer. Tests showfavorable results in standard C-41 processingcompared toECN-2 motion picture lab processing performed by professional labs. C-41 processing produces greater density and gamma which is more favorable for still photography workflows.Long term archival stability has not been tested past 5 years. Expectations for archival longevity should be somewhere between Kodachrome and most C-41 films.
