Description
SantaColor 100 35mm film was born from the success of Santa's workshop with high-speed B&W film (Santa Rae 1000). He felt pretty confident that his elves could make something magical with colour. And after a 2021 IndieGoGo campaign that raised nearly $200,000 he had the funds to do so!
It is a well known air surveillance film (makes sense for Santa 😂) made by a major manufacturer in the USA.
The film is a fine-grain, colour negative film compatible with the C41 process, yielding results with punchy reds and lush greens. It is more saturated than the Kodak Portra series, but less saturated and with a longer contrast curve than Kodak Ektar 100.
SantaColor 100 is flexible and can be pushed to 800 ISO with only a minor loss of colour accuracy and a minor increase in grain. Shot at 400 ISO and pushed +2 stops in development, the film exhibits accurate colours and an almost grainless look, typically associated with films like Kodak Ektar 100 or Kodak Portra 160.
The film is freshly made and is a 100 ISO colour negative film compatible with the normal C41 process. As this is not a movie film, it does not have any special (remjet) backing and can therefore easily be processed by the WonderLab.

Took this to Thailand to capture rain forests and was a bit let down as the film isn't particularly versatile and isn't worth the price unless you must have this look. Partly my fault for using this in a Kodak Ektar H35N as I didn't want to risk my main film camera to the sea. Great for greens and that is pretty much it. Skin tones are too pink and a couple of my shots came back very pink (I believe these were at the start of the roll).
Perfect for nature orientated photoshoots. Red, orange, yellow and green gorgeously pop up.
My second outing with Santacolour, this time at box speed. This time also had sprocket lightleaks on some of the shots which were fun to see. Love the colours this film produces, and the fine grain. It behaves well itself on cloudy days (essential in my neck of the woods!) and I'm glad I bought a 5 pack!
I loved this stock! It leans to red, green, orange, brown so much. When I look at the pictures, it gives me autumn colour vibes. Plus, it's good for pushing. I pushed my film 3 stops and results turned out to be gorgeous. Definitely buying more in the future.
Offers some truly stunning depth of colour, I pushed it to 400 and it seemed to love the deep reds and light yellows in particular!
Would buy it again with no hesitation.
