SANTACOLOR 100 - a NEW FILM with the best colors I have seen! (feat. special guest)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2022
- In this video I will try out a brand new film that has been top secret at the time I received it. It's called "Santacolor 100", a color surveillance film branded by Santafilm in Finland. I try out this film in different scenarios: from street photography to architectural shots of old industrial buildings to portraits with a special guest.
If you want to support the campaign and get your hands on some rolls of this magic film, you can check it out here:

Please enjoy the video and let me know about your thoughts on the shots as well as on Santacolor100! 🤍
Thanks for the in-depth review! Really looking forward to trying it out.
This would be a lovely film for 110 format.
Great video Karin :)
Looks like an interesting film to try out.
Awesomeee!!
Excellent video! Definitely going to get Santa 100. Thanks for the tip about loading in the dark.
I love the photos! The film captures beautiful colors!
Thanks! I was very happy with the colors as well :)
I love how much you interacted with people that eventually just became a part of your video! love the colors too, of course
I prefer candid images, but the few times I ask people to take their photo are almost always worth it! Thanks for your kind comment :)
Absolutely love your videos so much fun. I love the reds as well!
Thanks so much for your comment! :)
Great stuff Karin, Looks like you can get some really nice results with this film exciting stuff thanks for sharing 😀
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it a lot :)
Karin,
Great video and a really good review of the film - as soon as it was finished I jumped onto indegogo and pledged for a 10 pack!
I think the tones are perfect for gritty urban shots like you've done. Not many films compliment that look quite as well as this one. It'll be a welcome change from black and white to color street and industrial shooting.
That film was rad, and the ending location was pretty. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it! :)
Wonderful video, Thank you
It definitely has character. Great colour rendering, and it really pops. Great camera work 😊
I totally agree, it truly has character! Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it :)
Hallo Karin, klasse Video wie immer. Well, why is Santacolor 100 such a great film stock? Because it is Kodak material: Kodak Aerocolor IV 2460, sold as SantaColor 100, Luminar 100, Film Electra 100, and Film Washi X....! Kodak even produces now for Fujifilm (Fujicolor 200). Almost any time, when a film box says "Made in USA", the likelihood that there is indeed Kodak film stock in it is very high. However, every new film stock on the market is a new chance for the analog film community to grow. Let's shoot film!
I love the color rendering, it definitely feels true to life!
For sure, I appreciate that about this film as well! :)
Enjoyed the video as usual. Looking forward to trying that film.
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it! :)
Thank you for sharing these results! I love that it has a personality and will be fairly affordable. I will definitely use this for portraits in nature and in very industrial environments, and I want to experiment with filters. That's such an amazing place you got to explore with your sister!
Thanks for your comment, Jamie! For portraits it might not be the best to shoot at golden out since the skin tones might turn out almost too red. But in most other light conditions this film creates beautiful skin tones. Very excited to see your results with it :)
im super excited for this film. the results you got are great!
Thanks srad, I appreciate it! :)
Wonderful to see you in golden hour sunlight for a change, my friend. I agree on the similar color rendition to Ektar. I did try the 1000 ISO B/W Santa and can't wait to try this one. The shots I liked best in your roll were the ones where there was a contrasting color to the predominant reddish tones - spectacular. I agree that you and Sam have "the same face" and it's a beautiful one. Thanks for all of your great videos. Andy
Thanks a lot for your comment, I appreciate it! :)
Really great seeing you in my hometown and really the film matches perfectly to the LaPaDu. I ordered a pack as well and will let you know how it turns out in Winter when Santa arrives. Get well soon. Ingo
Well, then I will wish you a "schöne Bescherung"! Thanks for your kind comment Ingo, I hope you will have fun with this film stock :)
Schönes Video und deine Schwester ist auch sehr sympathisch! Bitte mehr davon in dieser Art! 👌
Danke, das Kompliment geb ich weiter! :)
The film looks great and wow,that industrial area has so much cool stuff to shoot 🤩
Absolutely! I shot some more film that day but I will have to go back nonetheless. Thanks for your comment! :)
Great video, as usual, you make me want to be back in Germany every time. I have 10x rolls coming and am excited by the colours and how they will look here in the Southern Hemisphere light.
That's sounds really great, I hope you will have fun with your rolls! :)
Good Afternoon Karin!! Thanks for the Video.
Thanks for your comment! :)
I appreciate the fact that you gave us the results at first without any additional information. Definitely a psych major 😉😅
I am afraid I primed everybody too much with the title of the video already - but yes, unbiased opinions are important! :)
Lots of rich golden brown! I ordered some a month ago and now I’m glad I did!
Awesome! Hope you will like it :)
Thanks for the heads on a great looking film! It reminds me a little (lot) of AGFA Colour from the 80's. Can you imagine it in 120. Hope you are feeling better.
FYI multiple companies now sell aerocolor in 120, such as CatLabs
Great video, Karin. The film looks really good and I am tempted to also get some rolls :).
Thank you! I am sure you would enjoy it :)
Fantastic photos, love the colours. Thanks for the video. All the best, Richard.
Thanks so much for your kind words, I appreciate it! :)
@@KarinMajoka No problem, I always look forward to your videos. I don't do film photography but I have my mum's old Canon point and shoot and I need to get a battery for it. It's a big old battery! Once I've got it I'm going to have a go at film photography. Thanks for the inspiration.
@@ilesjazz Awesome - hope you will find a battery soon so that you can make your first steps into film photography! Spoiler alter though: it's addictive 🤫
I was so excited to contribute to this campaign! The moments I saw those popping reds I knew I wanted it. I may get stingy with the 10 rolls I receive, in case it runs out everywhere. :D
The industrial photos are so cool!
Thanks! :)
Very nice color rendering...will have to try a pack...As usual, I enjoyed your images and banter. Keep up the excellent work... Hopefully, you are feeling better by now. Cheers, kiddo!
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
I knew I had to back it when I saw the results from you and Jason or Grainydays. Great video.
Awesome, hope you will have fun with your rolls then! :)
Looks like it would be great for sunset/sunrise shots with the autumn leaves changing colours.
Lovely results, for sure a palette i like! Going to have to get myself some rolls too.
Thanks Phil! I hope there will be a video with this film shooting in Japan then? :)
@@KarinMajoka i hope so too! When i get it, and get a little time.
amazing video!!!
Thank you! :)
Wunderschönes Video, gefällt mir sehr gut 👌
Vielen Dank für deinen Kommentar :)
That looks like such a cool location. New viewer of your channel, love the content, even if I shoot exclusively (for now) digital.
Thanks so much for tuning in, I appreciate it! :) I am not a purist, I think the medium we use for photography is just a tool which does not matter too much. Also all sorts of photographers are welcome here. :)
Thanks for reviewing this film, hope to receive mine later this year but it will be winter in Canada so hope this film works in the winter time. And like you said, if Kodak Ektar and Cinestill 50D had a baby, it might be Santa Color - hahaha, yes that could be.
I am very excited to try to film out in winter as well, since I have a feeling it might work out pretty well. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it! :)
Damn, skintones are quite nice!
Lovely video karin. 👌 your pictures show really well how the film looks and what to expect. Also this slightly reddish comes through well. I was only at the end really scared that you me and Grainy days were the only ones who have made videos. 😅 I'm also glad that Santa have also successfully completed the campaign. you also have to tell me where these blast furnaces are. the pictures were awesome.
Thank you for your comment, Dan! I am also happy that they managed to reach the goal that quickly and that there is still time left for some extra support. :)
Bought 70 rolls of this film and it’s become my favorite film to shoot. Mostly shoot Fuji c200 film otherwise.
The film is really Sharp, and I like the video aswell.
Thank you! :)
Great video and a great film... i definitely have to buy some rolls of it :-) You should return to the Landschaftspark at a weekend when the whole complex is illuminated at night in different colors. That looks amazing. Greetings from the Ruhrpott (Dortmund) :-)
My sister told me about it and I was a bit sad that I did not get to experience it that day. But it surely is a great reason to come back! Thanks for your comment. :)
Great video, thanks for taking us along! I wonder have you ever tried the new Adox Color Mission and compared these two?
Unfortunately I did not get my hands on Adox Color Mission (yet). I was too slow after the launch and it was sold out almost everywhere since then. But I would love to try it one day!
I love how the reds pop on this film and the way it renders colour in general. It's just a pity there'll only be about 15000 rolls of the stuff. Someone should hunt around for a whole heap of this film and start spooling it up!!.
I think the minimum amount to bring this project to life were 15.000 rolls - so I hope they will make even more than just that :) Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it :)
very nice! makes me want to go out and shoot myself :)
den landschaftspark duisburg nord hab' ich auch mal zufällig entdeckt, super schön dort :)
Sehr ordentlich. Tolle Review und super Film !!! Leider scheint die Crowdfunding Campaign schon zu Ende zu sein aber in den Geschäften ist der Film auch noch nicht. Wo kann man ihn also bekommen ? 🤔 Wahrscheinlich muss ich mich dann wohl noch etwas in Geduld üben.
Oh und ich wusste gar nicht, dass Du Deutsch sprichst ( so gut ist Dein Englisch ). Auf jeden Fall tolles Video. Das Editing muss ne Menge Arbeit gewesen sein.
great video... enjoyed your industrial images... film is reminiscent of Agfa Color in the 1970's... often, using the color balance eyedropper on the orange mask between images will give a good neutral color balance for scanning/printing
Since I did not develop this roll myself I did not get to see the actual negatives yet. But it seems like the film base is almost completely clear, which might make it a bit trickier to scan. But it would be good to see if the trick with the color balance works on this film as well.
Hallo Karin! Ich bin ein student aus Amerika, und ich mag Filmkameras wie Sie! Ich lerne noch Deutsch, aber deine Videos machen mehr Spaß wenn du sprichst. Danke für dieses Video!
Vielen Dank für deinen Kommentar - dein Deutsch klingt wirklich schon sehr sehr gut! :) Sprachen Lernen in Kombination mit Film Fotografie macht sicherlich am meisten Spaß.
Fantastic photos and colors, I will try this film, how to digitize your photos? what scanner do you use? Thank you
HOW is it so green and so red at the same time? very cool
ah santa lol makes sense
I'm a simple man, I see a BAAO shirt (and a talented photographer) and I click like :)
Well that was easy, I should wear that shirt more often then haha. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it :)
I loved the results! This film renders colors in such an unique way, really loved your content! If I may ask, do you recall what aperture your lens was configured with in the industrial area pictures? I was planning on shooting on similar scenarios but I'm afraid my 2.8 lens won't handle it.. thxx
As a new film user, social media is flooded with colour images made with Portra and Ektar and now Kodak Gold 200. Santa Colour seems to have a red predominance and greenish casts from your images. It looks more fine grained than Kodak Gold. And it doesn’t seem as warm. I’ve ordered some but I’m on the fence as to what I think. Coming from a sunny place I tend to favour a warm look rather than this cool tones. But it seems to be best when exposed düng good light. By the way, following you on your vlogs and film experience is something I always look forward. Stay safe and thank you. And don’t tell Elmar about this film so you can brag later.
I totally understand you, it can sometimes be hard to build an own taste when social media is flooded with the same film stocks, shot in the same old manner. But that's also why I appreciate having more options such as Santacolor on the market to escape that typical "film look"-bubble so to speak. Good luck with your own experiences with Santacolor 100, hope you will find something useful in it no matter what! :)
sorry for typo should have said "heads up"
How can you not love videos like these. As a hobbyist I am still amazed at how different film stock gives different results. In that regard, it is super nice that photographers, like you, take the time to review film for others to see.
Thanks for your kind comment, I appreciate it a lot! To be honest I also still feel like "a hobbyist" haha.
Hi Karin. I forgot to ask you the day I commented. Have you used kaiser film reels compared to pattersen ? For home development I was recommended Kaiser reels which apparently is easier to load negatives onto. Since its made in Germany I thought you might have tried it. Am just setting up the gear for home development this month
>increased sensitivity to red and IR
i can imagine attic darkroom jumping to shoot this through a IR only pass filter, dev in BW chems and trichrome it
I have no idea how that works but it sounds incredibly interesting to be honest!
@@KarinMajoka uh trust me you dont want to visit his channel, you'll be falling down a rabbit hole in no time!
@@FookFish Ahh, I did not get it's the name of a RUclips channel. Will have to check it out then once I have a couple of hours to spare haha.
Love this film. I'm not a big fan of Portra and this looks like a good alternative, especially for situations where you want a more grungy feel. Also please sign me up for Karin's Steampunk Film Walks (relatives optional).
Thanks for your comment! I like Portra, but sometimes I get tired of that same old look - so it's good to have an awesome alternative. Karin's steampunk film walks sounds cool, sign me in haha.
...ach du meine güte.....Sinalco !.... is alive, das hab ich als kind getrunken, ich sag jetzt aber nicht wie alt ich bin, ich weiß noch wie amstrong am mond rumsprang und wir sinalco tranken....😉
Ich hatte auch direkt die Melodie von "die Sinalco schmeckt" im Ohr, als ich mein Getränk bekommen habe :D
For a film with nice colors which is also not too expensive I can recommend Kodak Pro 100.
Good recommendation, thanks! Still need to shoot the rolls of it I have in my fridge.
Look a lil bit like velwia but more contrasty ;3
True, it is indeed a bit Velvia-esque haha
If this is Kodak colour surveillance film, with infra red sensitivity, is this actually the old Kodak EIR colour infra red E6 film?
Bei Fotoimpex gibt es von FlicFilm den Elektra 100 der auf Aerocolor IV basiert. Mich würde mal interessieren, ob es zwischen Santacolor 100 (Aerocolor 125) und FlicFilm Elktra 100 (Aerocolor IV) einen unterschied gibt.
Orange and Teal in film
Yes! :)
Is the film okay with flash
if this film is not printable film, does it means the film is a Slide Film type (Reverse Film)? Or it is still a Negative Film but just not able to use normal process to print on paper?
It is color negative film. However, the film base is transparent and not orange as with regular color negative film.
The shipping costs from Kodak to Finland and back to the USA makes this an awfully expensive luxury for anyone in the Americas.
That is unfortunately very true. Due to shipping costs the film is better accessible to people in Europe. I ordered some film from the US not too long ago and the shipping costs + taxes were almost unbelievable. I don't know the exact film prices in the US - but when buying larger quantities Santacolor might still make sense
@@KarinMajoka I can look at a purchase later this year, possibly with some other film shooters. I note that this film was designed for the AN-6 process and that the C-41 times may need adjustment. The film has a UV filter layer built into it, which is a good thing for many shooters.
First comment, without watching the video: LaPaDu 🤩
Wow, you recognised it from the thumbnail alone? 😱
@@KarinMajoka Second comment...
Yeah, I have been there multiple times so it's easy the recognise 🤭. There are so many different scenes possible there. With Corona Hochofen 5 was closed so I really need to go there again, I only went up once and ever since then I got more experienced.
When you shot all this pictures in the centre of Duisburg I was actually thinking "don't waste your film there, you'll need it later". I have a few 120 rolls of Silberra 160 (which is exactly the same stuff, Aerocolor was made almost only for the Russian army) I think I'll use them in LaPaDu the next time, the colours of the rust really came out nice. Ultra wide angle works really nice on such places, but I always forget to buy one when I am at camera *I don't know the English word* Börsen.
Have you been to other sites of the Route der Industriekultur? Zeche Zollverein in Essen also is a great place, I can really recommend it.
Congratulations if you're still reading my story 😆 but I didn't know you were writing for SGC. I was at the meetup/photowalk last week and they told me to give it a try because they thought it was better than PK. Then I suddenly saw a familiar name when glancing through 👍🏻
Ahhh, I did not know that Silberra is actually the same film stock - good to know, thanks for the info. Good wide angle lenses are hard to find, depending on the mount, but sometimes you can get lucky at "Kamerabörsen" :D Actually, I have not explored the industrial culture all that much yet, but I definitely got interested in it after the day at the Landschaftspark - so I might check out Zeche Zollverein one day.
Nice, how was the meet-up? I could not make it unfortunately since I was in Berlin that weekend. And yes, I have been writing a couple of articles for the magazine which has been a lot of fun :)
@@KarinMajoka Yeah it seems I only find 28mm at the Börsen (Fotografica Hilversum, seems to be quite a big one, also with exhibitors from Germany and Belgium) that and if you are lucky 24mm.
Yeah it was really nice to speak other film shooters, the "big YT people" and manufacturers. I'll definitely come back for other activities.
It's Kodak aerocolor 125
Thanks - that's why I mention it in the video as well :)
Well I don’t want the film if I can’t get prints from it.
looks a bit good
Glad that it only looks "a bit" good haha :D
