Interesting Film Experience

Rated 3 out of 5
September 6, 2025

I’vewanted to try this film forva while. It gives a unique look to photos and is great for low light. I shot a roll at 1600 ISO and pushed it 1 stop despite Cinestill’s recommend 2 stop push for shooting at that speed. I intentionally overexposed some of my shots. It worked very well for hand holding my camera in the subway. Next time I shoot this film I will try some long exposure shots.

I loved this! I had so much fun shooting at night and looking for neon lights and low lit alleys. It is worth all the hype. Will be buying more rolls.

So glad you loved it! Night scenes and neon really bring 800T to life – thanks for sharing your experience!

I’ve been hearing about this film for years at this point. Even after reading all of the reviews, seeing the sample images, and watching the videos I was skeptical. I ran a roll through my Mamiya MSX and was blown away by the unique look this film gives.
