Cinestill 400Dynamic ~ A Versatile Colour Film ~ 5×4, 5×4 25 Sheet Box

Storage: 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 light and store it in a cool, dry place. 400D was specifically designed for still photography to be processed in C-41 chemistry by any photo lab or at home.

Handling: Users will note that the film’s base is thinner (~5-mil thick acetate base) than most other 4×5 films (~7-mil thick polyester base). Care should be taken when loading into film holders and developing tanks. We’ve tested a variety of at-home and commercial 4×5 colour processing options, including hanger-type dip-and-dunk processors, the JOBO 2509N reels, the Stearman Press SP-445 tank system, and tray processing — all of which worked well with 400D 4×5. Thanks to some recent backer feedback and some additional testing, we have found that the Mod54 reels for the Paterson 3-reel tanks may present some compatibility issues.

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 colour fidelity. All current productions of CineStill have expiration dates for two years from manufacture date on the box.
