I think I've found my favourite C41 colour film. Cinestill 800. I shot these at box speed of 800 ISO, and the grain is at least as fine as Portra 400.
Cinestill 800 - remarkable

Did you use a filter for these?

I was just about to ask the same thing. I've run through two rolls of the 800T and 50D each and love them both, but haven't shot the 800T in daylight yet, though I've been itching to.
One of the brothers Wright recommended rating the film at 500 and shooting with a warming filter (85B Im guessing) when shooting in daylight, but that it was not necessary to do so. I'd like to try this and see what kind of tones I end up with.
Either way, your shots came out great! Who's developing your film, Richards?

I have shot cinestill (800 and 50) a lot. I have learned to use an 85B filter and shoot at 500, develop at 800 .... very rich colors, tends to the warmer side. Develop at 1000 rather than 800 and you get a little more grain but looks great to me......

Sorry, just saw the questions.
No filter, shot at 800 ISO (box speed). Any colour balance corrections were made in LR but northcoastphoto who dev/scanned the film pretty much colour balanced the scans already.

I quite like it too. Beautiful warm colors. I use it outdoors with a 51b filter per the manufacturer's recommendation.

I bulk roll the original film stock and shoot it without the filter and adjust color balance digitally. I find it great for all light conditions. The second one was rated at 1600 and developed +2. I usually rate the film regardless at ~400 for the extra shadow detail. The highlights usually retain well, unless I mess up my exposure. (I shoot meterless most of the time)

Yes, I see no need for filtering this film at all unless you are printing directly from the negative to paper. If you are going to scan the negatives, you can fix any colour balance issue in your editing software.
Keep it simple. Shoot w/o filters at box speed. Worked perfectly for me .
The photo above is great, when I first glanced at it it looks like the girl is diving and captured in mid somersault as they do in Olympic diving competitions.
But then I noticed she is just sitting on the beach with the same pose!

And this one shows the flexibility of this film. Being able to shoot from blazing sun to a night time snow fall.

Huss, I agree with technicals. And yes! The image does have this strange spacial arrangement.

It has a look quite different than Portra, which has been my go-to color film. Here's another recent shot. Again, I'm using a 51B filter, but I may try it w/out and adjust the colors in PS.
