Cinestill 50D

The results from my latest roll of 50D are, ummmm... interesting.

We are wearing off-topic now, but do you use baking-soda, wash at around 40-42 degrees until remjet is gone, before developing?

Sorry for late reply, I missed your post.

Try this or something similar.

1min in this stuff at room temperature (no agitation), drain. Wash the film 3 or 4 times (agitate as hard as you can). Then warm up the film with increasingly warmer water to get the film to processing temperature and get the pH to neutral. This removes 99% of remjet before processing. I still filter the developer although I've never seen any traces of remjet on it after filtering.

If you have any albums online or images you'd be willing to share, I'd love to see them. Reala is my favorite color negative film of all time (RIP). What scanning setup are you using?

littlefilmlab basically just process the film in c-41 and remove remjet or filter the chemicals.

I also shoot Vision3 50D instead of Cinestill, mostly because of price, but also due to the fact that the remjet do prevent glare and blooming in highlights.(that's the whole point of the remjet-layer, it's an anti-halation layer).

If you use film-stock Vision3, the cost per roll is extremely low.

I process mine in Tetenal c-41 and I remove the remjet after blix, I take the film off and use a soft wet tissue, before rolling the film back onto the spool, wash and then stabilize.

I find that this procedure leaves little to no trace of remjet on the emulsion, as opposed to using baking-soda and whatnot before developing (which doesn't remove all remjet anyway).

I filter the chemicals trough two coffee-filters before going back into the bottle.

I find it to be neutral and sort of Fuji reala'ish (not too saturated), but it's the scanning.....I have no idea how the film really looks, since it is a ECN-2 cinema-film after all.
