Shot with an Olympus XA compact rangefinder: St. Paul Lutheran Church in McAllen, Texas — a 1956 mid-century modern church designed by architect Zeb Rike, with Henry Steinbomer as consulting architect — in late afternoon light, tall fan palms from below, the playground at La Vista City Park in McAllen, and a foggy morning over a plowed field.

One film, many names

Santa Color 100, Luminare 100, Film Washi X 100, Elektra 100 and Silberra 160 all hold the same film: Kodak Aerocolor IV Negative Film 2460. Each company puts it in its own packaging (Silberra is no longer in business), but what’s on the roll is the same.

Kodak built Aerocolor for aerial work such as geological, crop and forestry surveys, city planning and remote sensing, so it has a tough ESTAR base with high tear resistance and excellent dimensional stability, an abrasion-resistant emulsion and an antihalation undercoat. It develops in standard C-41 (or Kodak’s AN-6 chemicals). If the label doesn’t matter to you, buy whichever brand costs least — the film is the same.
