Canon F1N with CineStill400D film

[Farkle-Mpls]

I took one of my F1N's and a few lenses around Amsterdam, Bruges and Antwerp a couple weeks ago.  I had tried the new CineStill400D before -- thought it was intriguing -- so I took my remaining six rolls to Europe with me.  Avoided all airport xrays (not really a big problem).  In nine days, I shot all six rolls.

 

Camera was a F1N (1984 Olympics), and lenses were FD 24mm/F2.0, FD 50mm/F1.4 and 80-200/F4L.

 

The film is quite warm.  A little too warm at times.  It utterly blows out (can I call this "halation"?) around bright areas as a couple photos will show.  Not the general purpose film I thought it was when I tested a roll before my trip (my test images were shot in reasonable light).  Curious to get other people's thoughts.

Outdoors.  Dunkirk beach.

 

Bruges, residential street.  24mm.

 

Those blown highlights end up with a curious red bleed.

 

"Red bleed" is more pronounced at night.  There was NO red neon ... that's all some sort of bleed-over on the blown whites.

 

Another example.

I included a shot of my F1N too as I just love that camera.

 

First time posting in the new format so I hope this is a readable post/images!

I could've posted in the Film forum too but I tend to follow/contribute more on the FD forum.

I actually rather like the red halos on the neon and can imagine it being quite a useful effect. Not so nice for the interior.

Like the FD 24/2 on the F-1, that lens has been in the wish list for about 30 years ago, finally picked one up this year and will be trying it on my Eos R soon.
