Not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere on here, but their 120 film stock seems to be in. Just ordered 6 rolls. Can't wait to check it out.:)
 
I've shot a couple of rolls of 800T in 35mm and my experience has not been entirely favourable. Some shots on my negatives have turned out thin and color shifted, when some others are fine. I've been thinking that maybe EI800 is maybe underexposing it a little?

There's obviously something about it that I like, as I just bought a couple of 120 rolls without hesitation :eek:

It began life as Vision 500T, so EI 800 is probably underexposing it a bit. I typically shoot my cinestill at 400.

I've noticed that too. I shot the last roll at 640 on the ISO setting.

As for the color shifting, remember that it's balanced for studio floods and not daylight. I've used it only for available/low/night scenes and the color has been fine but yes, it does have a different "feel" to it.
 
I just shot 10 rolls on a trip across russia, china, and mongolia. Developed yesterday and now it is the queue to scan.

I will say I likely won't buy more, I backed their indiegogo, so I was able to buy it at 8.99 which is a fair price, but the 11.99 is too high for me to continue shooting it.

I don't like the halos with Cinestill, so I use Vision3 in 35mm.

Is the halo-issue as prominent in 120 as in 35mm or is it the same? (isn't the 120 on another base?).
 
I just received the rest of my rolls from the Kickstarter campaign; so I guess their commercial stuff is now available. I don't think the halos are as bad on 120.
