Description
CineStill D96 is a black-and-white powder developer formulated to replicate the legendary Kodak D-96 motion picture chemistry, used for decades in film labs processing titles shot on Double-X (5222) and similar emulsions. It delivers classic cinematic tonality, smooth contrast, and excellent control over highlights, making it a perfect choice for photographers looking to capture that timeless black-and-white motion picture look.
The kit contains powder components to make 1 liter of stock solution, suitable for use as-is or diluted 1+1 for a more compensating effect. D96’s lower activity compared to standard still film developers helps retain shadow detail and avoid blown highlights, especially in contrasty scenes or high-ISO motion picture stocks.
