SantaColor 100 โ 35mm Colour Negative Film (36 exp, ISO 100)
SantaColor 100 is a fine-grain, daylight-balanced colour negative film rated at ISO 100 and produced from re-spooled Kodak Aerocolor heritage stock in Finland. It delivers punchy reds and lush greens, with a wide exposure latitude that handles from ISO 25 up to ISO 800 when pushed or pulled.
Compatible with standard C-41 colour negative processing, SantaColor 100 offers more saturation than typical Kodak Portra stocks, yet retains a smoother contrast curve and lower saturation than ultra-vivid stocks like Kodak Ektar. The filmโs cold-storage at around 3 ยฐC ensures consistent performance across batches.
Because this film is created from aerial/traffic surveillance stock and re-spooled into still camera format, photographers may notice unique roll-to-roll character, more flexibility in exposure, and a distinctive palette not found in standard consumer stocks. It rewards experimentation: pushing to ISO 400 and beyond yields accurate colours and subtle grain increase.
SantaColor 100 is ideal for portraiture, travel photography, everyday colour shooting and archival-minded users who appreciate film stocks with heritage and flexibility. It offers a unique analogue colour lookโwarm, vibrant, and reliably processed via C-41โmaking it an accessible pick for both novices and experienced shooters.
