Unmistakable Film

Rated 5 out of 5

First off, I just love this film. I think the tungsten color balance gives it a really cool look, especially for lower light/night shots (obviously). Only recommendation is to be very deliberate with your metering/exposure to control for your want/hate for the halations you can get with this film.

Unique Look and Feel

I was very surprised by the quality of this film. It is actually not as grainy as expected. I did most of the shots outdoors in the day time, which is not how this feel was intended. I used a Hasselblad 500cm with an 85A filter. I used this color correction filter since the film is tungsten based, and I was shooting in the day light. For indoor shots, I removed the filter because it was primarily tungsten lighting. Outdoors did pose some challenges of course, being 800 speed film, and I rated it at 800. I had to be creative with the locations I shot in, using shadows, and blocking the direct sunlight. Overall, a very good film, and will be testing out even more
