I have an app for that but it contains no data for cinestill film. At 4 sec. measured time with Portra 400, you should compensat +0.3 stops (=5sec.). With Ektar 100 you should compensate +0.7 stops (6.5 sec.).

The programmer collected compensation data from manufacturers like Ilford or from the web when the manufacturer does not provide this information (like Kodak). Choose the film, type in the measured exposure time and you will get the compensated exposure. For me as a beginner in night time film photography it's really helpful.

    You forgot to mention reciprocity failure, which is definitely important for night photography. I also think shooting slower speed films at night has value because reciprocity failure increases contrast, which if that's desirable for your concept allows you to get a two for one in less grain and increased contrast.

    On a cityscape like this (or anything else that doesn't move) setting the aperture to where you want it to be should be the your first step, I think. On this shot I'd like to see the exposure from your -1 shot without the filter at f/11 or smaller.

    My preferred night photography film is around ISO 100 - low grain just the exposure time is long, but this can be a benefit when shooting sea/water stuff in the image. I am using incident metering to get decent average of exposure time at night. You didn't mention to adjust exposure for the reciprocity factor of the film which is very important especially when dealing with long exposures.
