CineStill 50D is a relatively slow, fine-grained/high-resolution, colour-accurate negative film that shows prominent red halos around bright highlights. In this review, I share numerous samples made with this film (along with a downloadable high-res scan), explain its origins, cover technical aspects, and give a few exposure tips.
