Clearly film is not dead.

I recently tried the 35mm version in a venue with spotty light, and the ISO 800 is no joke, if anything I overexposed. The colors from this film are striking.

Made my contribution, look forward to a roll to try with my 'new' Mamiya.

P.S. I also supported Film Ferrania, that enterprise seems to still be limping along. ;-(
 
They tried a kickstarter when Ferrania and new55 were up, they wanted 320k and only got 120k, with indigogo, they will get the money regardless of how much they raise, which is an advantage of this platform. This is promising, though, that they are at 55k already.

The film is prepared and sold by The Brothers Wright. See also twinlenslife.com. I met them in 2011 when they shot my friends' wedding. Nice guys. I believe they purchase a motion picture film and then remove the Remjet themselves.

In this case it would appear they need to purchase a master roll from Kodak
as 65mm motion picture stock still has perforations when cut down to
the required 60mm of 120 film.
Hence their need for significant funding.

Interestingly they are marketing a 500T stock as 800ASA . . .
But people seem to get good results, even with using the incorrect C41 process.
 
Most cameras index the 135 version at 500.

The wide exposure flexibility of the film allows frequent use ranging from 400 to 800, depending on lighting, effect desired, and filters used.

I have had satisfying results at a night time music concert at 800 in a Widelux,
and using Canon and Nikon lenses/cameras with 85B filters rated at 400 and 500 for naturally lit portraits.

There was considerable beta testing which led to the 800T rating, but their website and Flickr contain many examples at different settings.

How much do you folks think it would cost to process this film as opposed to processing your own b&w film? Would it be fairly comperable?

I won't support cinestill. I'll support Kodak Alaris by buying their Tri-X, Portra, and Ektar films.

I think there's something in this statement. While a master roll is a master roll in the manufacturing sense, buying and using Kodak's already-made still film supports their continued offering of still films.

I tried Cine-still a couple years ago and it had small-medium size dark spots on several frames, presumably from rem-jet that had not been completely removed. For that reason (and price) I steered clear since then. Has anyone else had that problem or was it a fluke?
