Cinestill 800T - London night shoot

For my first roll of Cinestill 800T, I travelled down to London where I shot a mix of images from the street, and the London Underground (Tube).
Camera:
Minolta X-700
Lenses:
Minolta 50mm F/1.4
Bell & Howell 24mm F/2.8
Vivitar 135mm F/2.8

Really good shots mate. That one across the subway platform at 9:16 in the video was perhaps my favourite. I do enjoy low light photography without a flash. :)

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the shots! I'm a fan of low light myself, especially in cities. The lights and colours make things much more interesting :)

Some great images in there. The film certainly brings a new feel to some familiar places. I was trying to work out how you ended up at Mornington Crescent though! Square crop for me, by the way. Look forward to the Berlin images.

Random tubing, and you end up somewhere unexpected! I think I prefer the square too, square crops are one of things I say I should try more often, then immediately forget...

Enjoyed the video and the images. Is it possible to say where you got the film processed and at what cost? Also the same for the film?😀

I got the film from Analog Wonderland, and they did the developing and scanning too. I go for the Premium Tiff option which is currently £19 - if you want standard JPGs it drops to £12. The film itself is currently £20. So it's not a cheap experiment by any means! I'm starting to look at home-scanning options as I've a good digital camera with macro lens, but I need to find the right lightbox/film holder widget to use...

Nice shots but.... light leeks like on Cinestill sucks. It's a 33 film... not 36. As a professional I won't use it anymore. My last one is on the fridge. Won't pay that much for a film if I can't make the most of it.

Yep, that's a fair criticism - I didn't really mind them on these "test shots", but having to blow through the first 3 or 4 frames if you're shooting something critical would be an annoyance. I think I read it's down them hand-rolling, but you'd think by now they'd have worked out a fix...
