Profile notes
SUIBO 500T is FilmNeverDie's high-speed tungsten-balanced offering, explicitly described on the official product page as an ECN-2 cine film. The underlying emulsion is widely understood within the analog community to be Kodak Vision3 500T (5219/7219) — a high-speed tungsten cinema stock celebrated for its fine grain, broad dynamic range, and exceptional performance in artificial and mixed lighting. The name 'suibo' refers to a Japanese ink-wash painting technique, evoking deep shadows and tonal subtlety. Tungsten balancing means it renders correctly under artificial/incandescent light; in daylight it produces a strong blue cast that requires an 85B warming filter to correct. SUIBO 500T retains its remjet layer and must be developed via ECN-2 process — it cannot be sent to standard C-41 labs without remjet pre-bath removal. Available in 36 exposures, DX coded.
