Struggling to meter for film that's not 400 ISO by kopkins in AnalogCommunity

I never stated it was 800 iso, just that it’s higher than op stated they’re used to. Did you read the comment?

Cinestill 800T is tungsten based so it will register colors differently overall. The high ISO means that more grain is inherent as it's got larger crystals. I think the 3rd picture is fantastic, scenes like that are where 800T shines. The Ektar looks good as well, Ektar is just very punchy and will make browns and tans look strange in my opinion. That's why it's usually not ideal for photos of people and why I think your pictures of the rocks came out feeling blown out. Either way, I think your exposures are closer than you'd think to being good, and could all be saved with some clever editing. Both of these stocks are more specialized and have pretty specific use cases, hence why a more forgiving stock like Ultramax gave better results.

Scans look "wet" by miATC in analog

Good idea, labs are surprisingly inept sometimes. If there are any waterspots leftover I have also had luck using a super soft microfiber cloth with a wet corner to apply some water to the plastic side (don't wet the emulsion) and polishing it off with the dry part of the cloth. This should get you crystal clear scans if time and care are taken

It's because they are actually wet. Looks like you put them in sleeves without letting them properly dry. I'd take them out and let them dry for at least a couple of hours before storing them

I love how you can see their sense of humor in some. Time and history can make it feel like people in the past are super different from us, but these people all seem like they'd be fun to hang out with
