After years of research and development, we’re are proud to release our reinterpretation of classic cinematic chemistry, the CineStill way. Following the lead of our other chemistry offerings, simplicity is key. As with Cs41 “Color Simplified” 2-Bath kit, the Df96 Monobath Single-Step solution, and the Cs6 “Creative Slide” 3-Bath process, we are making at-home processing modernized, simplified, and safe.
Introducing the CineStill Cs2 “Cine Simplified” ECN 2-Bath Kit.” Low contrast, cinema style processing for all color film. A complete, easy-to-use, 2-bath process for photographers, which produces low-contrast color negatives synonymous with the motion picture workflow. A safe and foolproof process, without all of the troublesome byproducts of the original industrial method.
Everything you need, nothing you don’t. The Cs2 kit contains all of the components required to process stills with the same characteristics Hollywood expects, from the comfort of your home, safely and accurately. Presented in ready to mix powder format, simply add water and follow the straightforward instructions. The Cs2 kit combines all of the steps of traditional motion picture processing into just two baths, saving time and expense. Quality without compromise. Available now, for shipping worldwide.
* If rem-jet is present, it can be manually removed under running water, after development. * Not intend for RA-4 chromogenic printing.
+ Cs2 Pros
• Great for extremely high contrast scenes or to achieve the low-contrast cinematic look of motion picture negatives • Optimized for motion picture logarithmic scanning and ECP film printing • Advanced active chemical agents formulated for motion picture processing • Simplified and safer 2-bath solution • Reduced risk to health & safety and processing defects caused from chemical carryover • None of the caustic compounds or poisonous byproducts associated with ECN-2 processing (such as lye, sulfuric acid, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide fumes, or highly toxic cyanide gas) • Ships worldwide without Limited Quantity Hazardous (ORM-D) regulations • No special processor needed (use standard processing tanks and reels) • Excellent for bleach bypass processing with F96 rapid fixer
- Cs2 Cons
• Not compatible with still photography RA-4 chromogenic paper • More difficult to maintain higher developing temperature than Cs41 • Less film capacity than the Cs41 process • Recommended +1 stop of overexposure • Thinner low-contrast negatives can be more difficult to scan
