About 400D
400D, often associated with Cinestill's modified motion picture emulsions like the 800T, is a daylight-balanced cinema film designed for still photography. Its nominal ISO of 400 makes it incredibly versatile for a wide range of lighting conditions, excelling particularly in situations where natural or continuous light sources are present. The defining characteristic of 400D is its remjet layer removal, which allows for standard C-41 processing. This modification, while simplifying development, introduces a unique halation effect around bright light sources due to the lack of the anti-halation backing. This red glow can be a desirable artistic trait, adding a cinematic flair to images. The film delivers fine grain for its speed, excellent sharpness, and a broad dynamic range, making it adept at preserving detail across varying luminances. Its color rendition is typically natural with a subtle warmth, offering pleasing skin tones and vibrant landscapes without oversaturation. It's a superb choice for street photography, portraits, and general documentary work where flexibility in lighting and a distinctive aesthetic are prized.
