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.

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.
