New in the film library: CS 800T City and CS 800T Day

The film library has two new films today: CS 800T City and CS 800T Day. They are not fitted to a LUT from the internet; we simulated them ourselves from Kodak’s data sheet for VISION3 500T (5219), the stock behind CineStill 800T, shot at EI 800. City is the film under fluorescent and LED city light at night: cyan shadows and greys with warm skin, made for night streets. Day is the film shot in daylight without a filter: clearly blue throughout.

The pictures are simulations computed the way the camera processes colour, not camera shots. Halation and grain are not part of the films.

If you own the GRLife Pro Film Collection, both films are already included at no extra cost:

  1. Open the film library, tick CS 800T City and CS 800T Day and download your film pack again.
  2. Replace the old film pack on your memory card with the new file.
  3. In the camera’s film vault, swap them into any slots.

One more thing: the film called CS 800T is now named CS Endura. It is 800T printed on Endura paper, warm and soft, and the old name was misleading. Its colours are unchanged; the new name shows in the camera once you download your film pack again.
