description CineStill 400D Overview
CineStill 400D is a daylight-balanced color negative photographic film developed for still cameras and officially released by CineStill in 2022. Manufactured using Kodak motion picture stock with the remjet layer removed, it allows for standard C-41 processing in standard photo labs. The film is designed for fine grain and high resolution in daylight conditions, and its successful crowdfunding campaign allowed it to be produced in multiple formats, including 35mm, 120 medium format, and 4x5 large format.
help CineStill 400D FAQ
Does CineStill 400D have the red halation seen in CineStill 800T?
It can produce reddish halation around strong highlights because CineStill's still-photography film lacks the conventional remjet backing used on motion-picture stock. The effect varies with exposure, subject contrast, and the intensity of the light source.
Should CineStill 400D be shot at ISO 400 in daylight?
ISO 400 is its nominal daylight rating and a practical starting point. CineStill promotes it as having broad exposure latitude, so photographers also rate it differently for particular lighting conditions or desired negative density.
Can CineStill 400D be processed in standard C-41 chemistry?
Yes. It is designed for ordinary C-41 processing, making it compatible with many consumer and professional color labs. That distinguishes it from unmodified cinema film that may require remjet removal and ECN-2 processing.
Which formats were produced after the CineStill 400D crowdfunding launch?
The 2022 campaign supported 35mm, 120 roll film, and 4x5 sheet film. This gave photographers access to the same daylight-oriented stock across small, medium, and large-format cameras.
