The CineStill 50Daylight Colour 120 Film is designed for medium format photographers seeking ultra-fine grain and cinematic image quality in bright light conditions. Its key benefit is delivering motion picture-like results with sharpness and vibrant colors, but it requires careful handling due to its ISO 50 rating, making it less forgiving in low light. This film is derived from professional motion picture stock and is optimized for standard C-41 processing.

The film is rated at ISO 50/18. It can be rated between ISO 12 and ISO 100 with adjustments to development.
Yes, this film is designed to be processed with standard C-41 color negative chemistry, making it compatible with most labs and home kits.
CineStill 50D is a daylight-balanced film, making it ideal for bright daylight conditions. It performs best outdoors on sunny days or in well-lit studios.
The Remjet layer is a removable backing found on motion picture film. Its absence simplifies the developing process, allowing for standard C-41 processing without needing to remove this layer first.
Store unexposed film in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration (13°C / 55°F or below) is recommended for long-term storage to preserve image quality and extend shelf life.
Yes, the film is rated at ISO 50 but can be rated and processed between ISO 12 and ISO 100. Pushing will increase contrast and grain, while pulling may reduce contrast.
It's derived from Kodak motion picture stock, offering a unique cinematic look with ultra-fine grain and vibrant colors. Its specific formulation allows it to be processed via C-41.
Ensure your camera's light meter is accurate and consider the film's ISO 50 rating. Use a handheld light meter for more precise readings in challenging light. In very bright light, you may need to use a neutral density (ND) filter.
Verify that the film is being processed with the C-41 standard chemicals and that the developer temperature and times are correct. Shooting under an incorrect light source (e.g., tungsten lighting without a filter) can also cause color shifts.
While known for fine grain, pushing the film beyond its rated ISO or using lower-quality processing can increase grain. Ensure proper exposure and lab processing. For the finest grain, shoot at box speed (ISO 50) or slower.
Medium format film requires careful handling. Ensure your hands are clean and avoid static electricity. Follow your camera's specific loading instructions precisely.
Compatibility:
This film is designed for medium format cameras and is compatible with any camera that accepts 120 film. Its Remjet-free design ensures it can be processed using the standard C-41 color negative developing process, available at most photo labs or through home development kits.
Care:
Store unexposed film in a cool, dry place, ideally refrigerated at 13°C (55°F) or below, to maintain its quality and extend its shelf life. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat. Exposed film should be kept cool and processed as soon as possible to prevent the image from degrading.
