SANTA COLOR 100 FILM 135/35MM COLORED FILM

The film material is made in the USA and hand-spooled into reused canisters in Finland at the facilities of Kamerastore.com

• Film type: Colour negative, air surveillance derived

• Film speed: 100 ISO

• Colours: Highly colour accurate with slightly increased red sensitivity. When scanned, typically on the warmer side and sometimes on the redder side. 

• Grain: Very fine, but made to create very sharp pictures as it is an air surveillance film

• Exposure latitude: Wide, with acceptable results from 25 ISO to 800 ISO (with pulling and pushing)

• Manufacturing: Freshly made in 2022, in the USA and hand spooled in Finland

• DX coding: No, but most cameras with DX readers default to ISO 100 - the film is therefore totally useable in Point and shoot cameras.

Processing and scanning:

• Process: Normal C41, can also be cross processed in E6 for relatively nice positives (exposed at 100 ISO)

• Compatible with Minilabs and other industrial processing: Yes

• Base: Mostly clear, slightly orange base. Not directly compatible with the RA4 process

  • Due to the thinner, clearer base, we recommend you load the film indoors, and definitely not in direct sunlight as this might lead to light leaks on the first frames

• Scanning: Due to the clearer base, some scanners are confused by the film and give a very red image. This is easily correct when home scanning or when done by a good lab.

• RA4 Printing: The clear film base requires an additional filter to be compatible with the RA4 process. The easiest way of doing this is to process a strip of unexposed C41 colour negative film and use that as an additional filter to yield normal printing results.
