The CineStill 800 Tungsten has a light sensitivity of ISO 800/30° in 3200K tungsten light. Thus, photos are possible in "natural" tungsten light indoors for atmospheric, warm colors without flash.

Due to its high light sensitivity and adaptation to tungsten light, this film is ideal for available light photography, such as street photography at night: photos in clubs, bars, and concerts.

Due to its wide exposure latitude, it is also a very good choice for Holga and Lomography cameras when used under available lighting conditions.

CineStill specifies an exposure range from EI 200/24° to 3200/36°.
