I’ve had a roll of Cinestill 800T sitting in the fridge (egg compartment) for over two years, so thought it was about time I gave it a try so loaded it in the Olympus OM2n. The T in the 800T means it’s balanced for Tungsten light, to balance it for daylight an 85B colour correction filter needs to be used, but from samples I’ve seen it can look good in daylight without a filter, to 85B or not to 85B. So I took a mixture of images with and without the filter at my favourite place of the moment Dams Spinney.
Without Filter
With 85B Filter
Well I like both of them, they seem to have a bit of an old fashioned look. I’ll have some more shots from this roll to post over the next few days.

I love your side note that this film was stored in the egg compartment, specifically. 🙂 Just as I love the results — though I can’t decide which color balance I like best. Maybe the second one, because it reminds me of the color grading they used in The Lord of the Rings films. Eager to see what else hatches from that egg compartment of yours!

I’m glad the cats are there to keep you in check, because otherwise heavens knows what else you might store in your fridge! 😀

Both shots are lovely, but I admit I prefer the 2nd one as the tones are warmer. Great stuff. Do you keep eggs in your fridge as well? 🙂

Thank you Stuart, There’s just enough room between the film for a few 🙂

Nice shots, Art! I like the bluer one more, it’s more mysterious.

Thank you Alena. It’s quite a a strange film in daylight, would be good to try it at night in town. I have a few more shots to post from the walk in the spinney.

This is a really interesting comparison! I would never have thought there would be such a difference in tones!

The 85B filter is supposed to balance tungsten film for daylight, but lots of people like the blue look without the filter. I quite like both, hope to try the film at night sometime.
