The black rubber grip of your X-Pan got white coming from a long period of no use. I cleaned mine with a toothbrush slightly dipped in window glass cleaning product and wiping it after with a clean water damped tissue.
My lab just got some of this film in and I picked up a 400 and 800 to try out. Would love to have an Xpan to test it out but my Nikon will have to do. Great pictures and thanks for the warning about the light leaks in case they show up when I get these rolls processed I won't worry that it's my camera.
Thanks Alex. I took another roll with my Nikon f3 which is also great and I shared some images on my Instagram! It performs really well with blue skies too!
Cartridge felt light leak on film with safety overlength should not occur with the X-Pan as this camera begins shooting at the end of the film and finishes before overlength begins, never shooting a frame on the fogged part of the film.
The halation seen in these photos is a hallmark of movie film which has been stripped of its remjet anti-halation layer. What is uncommonly curious is that Cinestill claims that its "new" 400D film is not repackaged Kodak Vison 3 250D, but a brand new film being manufactured by someone unidentified in partnership with them, even though it has the same halation problem seen here. I'd say that is a straight out lie, except that (1) why bother, as they disclose that their other color films are stripped Vision 3, and (2) Cinestill as a company does not have either the R&D resources to develop a film or the manufacturing capacity to produce a film stock. The only other company in the world with a recent capacity to manufacture movie film was/is Fuji. So is this some Fuji film Cinestill has repackaged? Film from some new player coming into the market? Or is Cinestill just lying? There are one or two new producers (i.e., Orwo), but they are a year or more ahead of marketing a finished product.
Actually I had the same feeling as what you have said and I see your points. Probably a marketing gimmick? There are many repackaged films now and most of them didn't mention what emulsion they use.

7 minutes in an no actual content of the camera, lens or film stock? 🙁

That is really helpful! Let me try that.
Thanks a lot! I now know more about the risk of halation, so I take this into account. For example, use it in only one marked camera.

Yes I think they have improved the canister now. Thanks for sharing the tip to not shoot with the fogged part.
