The guys from Silbersalz35 were organizing a small Night Photowalk in Stuttgart and part of the package was one roll of their 500T Vision3 cinefilms that you already know from some of my previous articles<\/a>. I figured this was a good opportunity to find out how the film holds up being pushed one stop so I decided to pay the entry fee and join.
\nProcessing (ECN-2, Push +1) and scanning was done at Silbersalz35<\/a> in Germany.<\/em><\/p>\n

The recommendation by Silbersalz is to shoot this film as ISO250, before I went for ISO400, but this time I dialed in ISO640 – with the intention of pushing it 1 stop.<\/p>\n

Some of the pictures from this evening might have benefitted from a slight overexposure compared to the meter readings, as I had to increase the exposure in post on quite a few of these.<\/p>\n

Around some of the highlights you can also see slight halos, but despite having been pushed this is still a long way from what you get with Cinestill 800T<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unless you go for the “raw scans” option you receive files that have already been color graded. The ones from inside the library all had a strong green color cast, but this might actually be due to the light they are using there, as already with other films<\/a> I encountered this strong green cast. And also all the pictures not taken inside the library show more neutral colors (bit warm, but likable warm):<\/p>\n

This was the first time I had a film pushed and it actually looks like I will be doing this again, at least with these 500T films. I don’t see a really noticeable drop in terms of image quality compared to the previous times I was shooting this film and I really like how the colors came out here. I wouldn’t call them neutral, but especially when it comes to film I gladly take cinematic and appealing over neutral.<\/p>\n
