The Cinematic Magic of CINESTILL 800T - Leica M6

[@TheChicoRios]

It's really a great film stock! Even the "rubish" photos looked great IMO. Thans for the content :D

[@jamie.dop_]

Thanks fella. Really appreciate it. I have had a few more rolls in the fridge but still not sure when I’ll use them next. Quite a specialised stock

[@keithwu]

love your content mate

[@jamie.dop_]

Ahh thanks man. Really kind of you to leave a comment!

[@filterfreephotography]

I don't seem to shoot much color film, but this film stock has always been on a short list, just never purchased. Maybe 2024 will be the year to try it out.

[@jamie.dop_]

It is 100% worth playing around with….. but it’s an acquired taste and works wonders in certain areas. Best of luck with it!

Subbed, great vid mate, I've had a roll in the fridge for a while... this has given me some inspo to go shoot it

[@jamie.dop_]

Ahhh class. Good on you. Send me some on insta once you’ve shot it. Would be great to see! Only if you can be bothered! Haha

[@jaydenfp]

Mate this is a great vid! Really enjoyed it, as someone who has recently moved over to shooting film for the first time properly on an M6 it resonated with me big time! Great shots.

[@jamie.dop_]

Ahh thanks brother. Glad to hear you’re snapping away yourself. Appreciate you taking the time to drop a line. J

Lovely shots. If you get a film drying cabinet, you can shoot a selfie (black and white), develop, dry, then scan in about 30 mins.

[@jamie.dop_]

How lovely…. Looks like more kit I’ll have to be buying. Not cheap this game is it!? 😆

[@jpm5205]

@@jamie.dop_ It depends, if you shoot a lot of film and it's your primary method of photography, it's exponentially cheaper/faster to develop and scan yourself. If you shoot black and white it's twice as cheap and faster. The chemicals aren't expensive (especially if you dilute it) and many are reusable up to 20 or more rolls. The developing reels/tanks are the most expensive required equipment, but can be had for less than two rolls of lab developed film. Most film air dried hanged in a good dry environment can be scanned in 3 to 2 hours. A drying cabinet is optional - they can be expensive, but also can be DIY for the price of two pizzas. A film dryer cabinet could dry your film in as little time as 15 - 30 mins. How you scan is the most expensive part and there are lots of information on digital camera vs flatbed scanning. But I bet you have almost everything you need for camera/macro lens scanning. I find that once scanned, editing negatives isn't much more work than editing digital raw files. Controlling the process start to finish is much more rewarding.

Amazing vibe, bro. What tripod is that?

[@sc1]

Great work. Your ‘failed’ shots would be Winners for me.

[@jamie.dop_]

Aww thanks. Few pretty average ones but certainly a few I did really like. Lovely film stock!

Really liked the door near the end

Really like this video and photos you take in the video. Thank you for shooting so many great videos,you should do more hahaha❤ I would also like to know if the lens you used is 35mm /f2 in this video ?

[@jamie.dop_]

Thank you! I’m creating them as fast as possible but it’s only a hobby and I can’t give all my time to it unfortunately! Yes it’s 35mm Summicron m f2

f’king amazing

[@jamie.dop_]

My favourite f’king comment yet!!

[@kc_chai69420]

can i ask what tripod you are using good sir? thanks!

[@jamie.dop_]

@@kc_chai69420 I used a Sirui light weight travel tripod…. (Not good!) It needs a fluid head. Only way to angle is through the leg length :( Thanks for the comment. J

[@inikphoto]

Just a tip, some of your images seem underexposed, the shadows look a bit gritty, 800T needs to be a little overexposed to get nice noiseless shadows but retaining highlights!

[@jamie.dop_]

Really appreciate the advice. Always been learning the hard way…. If in doubt, over expose!! Those mirky shadows can ruin an image! Thanks again

Bloody love a good pile of rubbish!
