Product Details
CineStill 400Dynamic is a fine-grain, daylight-balanced color negative film that delivers a soft color palette with natural saturation and rich, warm skin tones. The film has a wide dynamic range with a base sensitivity of ISO 400, but can be rated from 200 to 800 (without push processing) and pushed up to 3-stops. This makes the film highly versatile, usable both indoors or in the studio, under virtually any lighting conditions.
In 2022, we announced our 400Dynamic Film Maker Campaign with the goal of bringing a new 400 speed, daylight-balanced color film to the photo community in 35mm, 120 Medium Format, and with the stretch goal of 4x5 Large Format. Thanks to the amazing FILM MAKERS that supported the campaign, we were able to successfully create this film in all 3 formats.
400D was specifically designed for still photography to be processed in C-41 chemistry by any photo lab or at home. In addition, it also features a process-surviving anti-static lubricant coating ideal for both manual SLRs and automatic winding cameras. This film continues CineStill’s ongoing tradition of cinematic film emulsions made for still photographers, allowing them to maximize their creativity and produce remarkable images that express who they are as artists.
RECOMMENDED ACCEPTABLE EXPOSURE FOR PUSH PROCESSING:
No push - EI 200-800
1 stop push - EI 400-1000
2 stop push - EI 800-1600
3 stop push - EI 1000-2000
Storage and Handling: Load and unload film in subdued light. Store unexposed film in a refrigerator at 13°C (55°F) or lower in the original sealed package. To avoid moisture condensation on film that has been refrigerated, allow the film to warm up to room temperature before opening the package. Process film as soon as possible after exposure. Protect processed film from strong light, and store it in a cool, dry place.
Expiration: Film is a perishable good. For best results, expose and process the film within the stated expiration date. Exposed film should be processed promptly in C-41 chemistry to preserve latent image latitude and color fidelity. The first productions of this film had a 2 year expiration date at release. Over the past few years, we've conducted thorough testing, allowing us to extend the expiration date for all future production batches of 400D from 2 years to 3 years.
