Contrast is somewhat increased, but the colours stay accurate.
C41 FILM 35MM ISO
The canisters aren’t DX coded, but as Santa 1000 notes, most DX readers default to ISO 100, so it should be usable in most point-and-shoot film cameras.Ībove you can see three push levels: +0 (100 ISO), +2 (400 ISO) and +3 (800 ISO). Santa 1000 notes the film stock they’kll be using for this batch of orders, should it be funded on Kickstarter, was ‘freshly made in 2022’ and hand-spooled in Finland. We know it sounds like a cliche, but we are here to help the community.’ For any of film photography to move forward and grow, we need colour film - and the big manufacturers are really struggling to put that out there in canisters. ‘ Because we care about the community and therefore about the available of colour film. Lastly, due to the costs involved, there have always been cheaper color negative film stocks available.Īs for why Santa 1000 is taking the leap to turn this into a stills-oriented film stock, the company says: Second, the minimum order is ‘about 15,000 rolls,’ which is quite a bit for what will presumably be a niche film stock. As you can imagine, this means increased labor costs and extra time compared to other film stocks that can be spooled by machines. First, the film has a thinner-than-usual base, which requires it to be rolled onto individual spools by hand. You can find the listing of stockists on the company’s website here.As for why this film hasn’t previously been available in standard 35mm rolls, Santa 1000 offers three reasons. You can find the film to purchase on Dubblefilm’s website here or at certain stockists. The rest of the rolls have been fantastic, but something to keep in mind when shooting. Over the summer, I shot a few rolls of Dubblefilm CINEMA and noticed a few leaks, but only on the first couple of frames. From personal experience, I can say this is accurate.

While the films are ready for sale, the team says they are continually working on improving this process. The film is processed similarly to Dubblefilm’s 800 ISO tungsten-balanced “CINEMA” film, where you might see the same. TREAT is hand-spooled, so the company cautions that a few of the first frames may have a couple of light leaks.

At the moment, the film will be available for pre-order due to shipping delays. TREAT is expected to retail at €16.50 (approx. They have had good results, especially with basic point and shoot cameras like their SHOW models. However, Dubblefilm has tested it at 100 ISO thoroughly which is what fully automatic cameras tend to default to without the sticker. In an effort to reduce costs, the film does not come with a DX-coded sticker. The film is rated at 400 ISO and is a 24-exposure roll. Dodgy metaphors aside, by using motion picture film and removing the remjet, Dubblefilm is able to offer a regular production of 35mm color film that can be processed in C41 chemistry. With TREAT, Dubblefilm is going to be trucking in barrels of water to help create an oasis. If 35mm consumer color film availability was a landscape, it might resemble a desert in recent times. With a name inspired by a Banana Split with sparklers on top, how can you not fall in love with Dubblefilm’s new 35mm color film, TREAT! Based on motion picture Kodak Vision3 250D stock with the remjet removed, this film offers scrumptious halo effects where bright highlights and shadows collide.
