Testing Every Cinestill Film

In this video I'm testing out Cinestill 50D, 400D, BWXX & 800T back to back with my Leica CL on a road trip in California.

I hate to take away from the Cinestill portion of the video, but the Portra shot of the woman taking a photo of people in front of the lake with the sun beaming on her is PERFECT! She’s taking a photo of other people, and doesn’t even know she’s being captured as the beautiful subject of another photo.

[@charlessolinsky1537]

Also happy birthday!!

[@linusandhiscamera]

bro dropped a video on his birthday. love you king, happy birthday goat!!

[@CalebThomasMedia]

Unironically love y’all’s friendship 🙌

[@henry_wt]

Very much appreciate your ability to not only coherently review a film stock whilst taking excellent photos (that truly showcase its abilities), but to also capture excellent compositions with the footage you record in service of the review. Props all round

[@SweetLouPhotography]

the way you cut the music at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="96">1:36</a> really cracked me up

[@jordand431]

Willem I'm from Cape Cod and just got into film thanks to you and other creators! Appreciate all you do man.

[@alexissalazarr]

Wow, I was wondering if I should take Cinestill 400D on my upcoming trip to Italy and then this video appeared. Perfect timing indeed!

[@RM.TokyoPhotographer]

Cinestill Paradise Oh yessss, the moment you open the film camera sees the Portra, closes the lid....thats a classic.

[@Super8Sam]

Haha we’ve all been there

[@alexsamuelss]

Getting 80s sci fi art from those first few snaps with the 800t!

[@mardawg78]

Love to see such a beautiful perspective of the lake I grew up and spent most of my summers in 🏔️

[@Leandro_Montibeler]

I think the 50D looks awesome. It has the right amount of contrast for me and colors are just right. I might go buy some.

[@notjinx99]

yh i think its normal for 35mm film to be abit saturated. only portra 160/400 that ive found to be abit warm soft compared to others

[@vxscarr]

I rent all of these just Kodak vision 3 ? With remjet removed

[@lachlanchester8142]

Check your bank account first 😬

[@lachlanchester8142]

@@vxscarrthat’s the theory, apart from 400D I think cinestill said that’s the first film that’s their own formula

[@thealaris]

​@@lachlanchester8142It's clearly Vision3 250D the colours are identical

[@Fotospectra24]

Ugh, 800T at night is truly amazing. You can also use the film in sunlight, to also avoid halation (during sunlight) I always set my iso at 400. The photos just come out 🤌🏽

[@robertpacheco6155]

Been following for quite awhile now and must say you definitely inspire me to get out there and shoot more, appreciate these vids along with the knowledge keep inspiring. Love the photos!

[@coleb7644]

the neutral colors of 400d are amazing when combined with that halation

[@adventuresofjandk]

The joys of film photography. Losing a roll is a killer

[@badtaste999]

i was photographing sand harbor that same weekend, absolutely blows my mind to see these pictures lmao the inspiration is going off the charts right now!

[@metaljeff]

Reno! My city! I definitely love shooting 800t here at night.

[@CamMead]

Nice one man looks like a fun trip & a great idea for a video testing the various cinestill films. Have shot a few rolls of 400D and 800T but keen to give the 50D a go after seeing your results.

[@dontshootphotos3372]

Happy Birthday Willem! 😁

[@SampsonRHill]

Oh man, I love the 395! Such a beautiful drive up to the mountains

[@Bertzcommodities]

I shoot with 800t often but I recently tried 50d in 120 and adored it tbh 400d is one I just shot recently for the first time too but 50d and 800t take the cake for me

[@davidlowcher]

loved this one boys!

Apart from the photos, I appreciate the song choices a lot. We're aware that you know your hip-hop stuff (Larry June, Action Bronson etc), and it reflects in the music you utilize in your videos.

[@WillemVerb]

I need KZbin to catch on with the way you can use music on Tiktok, Reels etc. This is as good as it gets copyright free haha

Love the sky color on the 400

[@trippwilsonphoto]

Happy bday willem!

[@adrian.eduardo]

Happy birthday Willem! In the next video or in a comment here, can you tell us how you carry the CL with the strap? Bought one myself and can’t figure out a comfortable way myself 😅

[@ezpoppy55]

Nice. Back in the day (70s thru 00s), I did some night photography, always on Tri-X. Then came digital, and I went full on night photography! After over 20 years of digital only, I’m back to shooting film, mainly on my mamiya 6. The 800T is intriguing, and your night work is inspiring. Thank you for another terrific video. And, btw, why didn’t you take your Porsche on this trip? 😊

[@thetravelogues]

Let’s gooooo 💪 been wanting to get the difference of these but they’re so expensive to try them all 🥴

[@juliansoley]

Saw you at the film lab yesterday! Waited for your parking spot aha

[@spencersanderson4590]

I actually like the 50D colors they kinda seem closer to vintage slide film colors which seem hard to find these days

[@sniezekgaming1199]

i totally agree when i want that, kodachrome/old ektachrome films looks i shoot 50D at box speed and push it to ~80SIO, sometimes i will shoot it at 64. BTW many pros of that time who were using slides overexposed by a bit intentionally especially Kodachrome, for a certain time it was actually cool to expose your slides at +2/3 above the box speed so yeah.

[@adamkocka-patchik4545]

Willem just sniped that shot at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="434">7:14</a> !!

[@Stan_o7]

Rip unknown photos, it's the worst feeling.

[@itshendo6475]

This video couldn't have come at a better time. I have some 400D and I was debating loading it or not. I think I'll wait for when i go to an urban area to use it... it seems like Cinestill just thrives in urban areas and especially in the evening.

[@rejectfalseicons1920]

I have family who live alone the 395 and routinely go out there. There’s a surprising amount of things to shoot despite being mostly desert and “empty”

[@pierpaoloanzellotti1990]

Amazing photos...what settings did you use with 800t?

[@KillerTacos54]

Fantastic video mate

[@kristoffergo6294]

Yes, A Willem video, everything is gonna be ok.

[@tommymonolo]

Hi Willem, love your videos super stuff ! When shooting the 50D this is a silly question… but what f stop did you use ? Shutter speed etc ! I thought you nailed it with the ice cream guy love that photo ! Thanks you Keep on shooting on ! All the best Tommy !

[@DarvRamirez]

your choice of music for this video was fire low key.

You know I love your videos where you spend money on something odd, so that we don't have to! These all look better than I expencted, though. Cheers! ✌

[@slothsarecool]

I wonder if they do anything else to it, I've shot 50d & 400d alongside the Vision3 with remjet and the results are quite a bit different

[@drizzydrew98]

Happy Birthday Bro🤙🏽

[@WillemVerb]

Thank you!

[@genetik0079]

The pictures at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="475">7:55</a> are crazyy. Like freaking paintings.

[@guilhermecunha1671]

Hey Willem, awesome video! Did you use a light meter for the shots during the day? Just curious because I have the same setup we're using and I usually go with the sunny 16. Peace!

[@diegosalmon4744]

I,ve Been in love with cinestill 800t since I saw your first video about this roll ✨hi from chile 🇨🇱

[@danieljimenez1989]

400d is not custom, it's vision3 250D rated at the edge of the latitude to reduce halations. Just like 800t is vision3 500t. My favorite of the vision3 line is 200t for sure.

[@xiaoyuer31]

太有趣了，我也要试试看400D

[@enhimmelskdr0g]

Happy birthday! :D

[@Miguelcortes87]

Those Reno shots are sooo fire... also will we start seeing GX470 videos on your other channel?

[@Miiferrei]

I already missed your videos

[@TripleExposurePhoto]

Great stuff! I only shoot cine film these days.

[@errvictheodore]

"not looking good for my finances right now" basically sums up every film photographer's life

[@samue1991]

I recently opened my Nikon FA right after finishing a roll and forgot to wind it back in for the first time. I shut it so fast I only ended up losing 3 maybe 4 frames. It was scary though lol

[@ItisBean]

Scanned my 50D with Opticfilm 120, my scans have less of the yellow tone and contrast. Maybe it’s because I shot it at 25 too.

[@defcry_again]

50D looks the best, I wish they didn’t have such a strong halation. Not a fan of that. Thanks for dropping portra there too, beautiful colors.

[@thevoiceman6192]

I liked your photos. Love the hotels and the night photos. I do not understand why some film photographers do not like very saturated film or halation. Kodak Ektar is my favorite film because of the saturation. The reason I schoot film is because of the quirks and unpredictability.

[@shodei51]

I LOVE cinestill 800

[@gerekappo]

You might want to check Mighty Car Mods a video they did of a Toyta if im not mistaken, they used a box that enables the touch screen on those older cwra to work with carplay and android. (Im saying this because of the jbl on the dashboard)

yooo could u post the link for that sidebag? plssssssss

[@ericrjennings]

50D was my favorite

happy bday oatmeal boi

[@anandusuresh2782]

I don't think that cinestill 50D colour not that bad its have a warm character than portra films and 400D one of the best film for night aesthetic. its night blue garins are awsome for night photography.

[@CCPotato]

All of the films that Cinestill "makes".

[@samtenthije2419]

All of the films Cinestill doesn't want other companies to "make"

[@benboyslyboyben]

Man did a drive by on the police 😅

[@husshardan3511]

Not sure why 50d is difficult to shoot. Using Sunny F16 in bright daylight you would be shooting at 1/250 @ f8.

[@valantisjpg]

Beautiful! Anyone knows the beat/song in <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1080">18:00</a>!

[@yuanfrancois6640]

Are we getting a video on the Land Cruiser 150 on the WheelemVerb channel?

[@ThroughTheLoupe]

Ive shot 50D in daylight and i found it mot be contrasty at all ? It has great dynamic range. The thing is i think Cinestill has never been that great because of the halation issue but i think its redundant now because you can go shoot Kodak 50D and have it ECN2 processed and not get any of those issues. So just buy Kodak

[@thejokab]

What were your thoughts on the BWXX? Seems strange that you didn't comment on it at all

[@tonedeaf_film]

come shoot cape town one day

[@NesEscobar]

Will we be seeing the GX on Wheelem Channel soon?

[@pjbassman2253]

I'm a huge fan of Kodak 5222 bw which is what Cinestill bw xx is. I'm disappointed you didn't have anything to say about it. I love it. It's my favorite film.

[@dennis99ization]

I currently have the Sony a6300 and I’m in doubt of upgrading to the Sony a7ii, the specs are almost the same but still have a feeling the a7ii will be better, is this worth it?

[@thealaris]

Nah, it's outdated, and known for having issues, better look for a7iii, or a6700 if you want compact cam, for now the only one that worth something is s7sii, it's night power in still strong
