Description

Step into the vibrant world of LeeLight, a tungsten-balanced color negative film inspired by the bold, dynamic energy of Spike Lee’s motion pictures. Crafted from Kodak Vision3 500T and reimagined as 250T, this film enhances tones, finer grain, and dynamic range when overexposed. Perfect for photographers seeking a cinematic look, LeeLight channels the vibrancy, storytelling, and dramatic contrasts that define urban life and Spike Lee’s iconic films. Key Features: • Film Type: Kodak Vision3 500T (promoted as 250T) • Exposures: 36 per roll • Base ISO: 500, recommended to shoot at ISO 250 to bring out rich shadow details. • Tungsten Balanced: Optimized for indoor and artificial lighting but can be used in daylight with a warming filter. • Grain: Fine grain structure with rich contrast and vibrant colors • Versatility: Ideal for low-light, indoor, and urban environments Why Choose LeeLight? Shooting LeeLight at ISO 250 enhances tones, reduces grain, and brings out cinematic richness. Its tungsten balance is perfect for indoor lighting, but with a warming filter, you can achieve accurate daylight colors. Keep in mind, using a warming filter reduces about one stop of light, so adjust exposure settings accordingly. Whether shooting in low light or experimenting with different lighting conditions, LeeLight offers unmatched flexibility and character. Development Process: • ECN-2 Processing Required: As a cinema film stock, LeeLight must be developed using the ECN-2 process. Consult your lab or home-processing resources to ensure optimal results. Packaging: Each roll is carefully hand-rolled and packaged, featuring a custom design inspired by urban textures, cinematic boldness, and the cultural vibrancy of Spike Lee’s films. Shooting Tips: • For daylight photography, use an 85B warming filter to correct colors. • Remember that a warming filter reduces light by about one stop—adjust your settings accordingly. • Experiment with bracketing to explore the full range of the film’s capabilities at different ISOs. Additional Notes: Store in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate for long-term storage. Share your results using #LeeLightFilm to join the community of photographers exploring its bold potential.
